Abstract

Surfactants are chemical agents that are amphiphilic in nature and show a discrete pattern while interacting with water.  Due to their special properties to reduce interfacial tension (IFT) and the tendency to from colloidal solutions popularly called as emulsions surfactants are used in various industrial applications. The properties of IFT, wettability alteration and tendency to form emulsions are very much desirable and have helped the surfactants to find their application in EOR.
