Abstract

Surfactant is surface active agent Chemical, -while isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and alsoisobutyl alcohol (IBA) are known as cosurfactant and include types of alcohols used inenhanced oil recovery (surfactant flooding) rnethod. Factors of surfactant, cosurfactant,and NaCl concentrations play important role in determination of phase behavior. Basedon the results of phase behavior tests that the mixture of oil - PG12 surfactant - cosurfac-tant (IPA & IBA) - WIP water showed macroemulsion phase for all analy.ed samples atdifferent experimental conditions. PG12 surfactant is unable to be used for enhanced oilrecovery by Chemical injection, because it is very difficult to flow in porous media and todisplace oil, because the occurrence of plugging which is caused by opaque and milkymacroemulsion.
