- W1985310069 abstract "Abstract The physical structure of microemulsions and the degree to which ultra-low IFT is achieved is dependent on a number of parameters including the types and concentrations of surfactants, co-solvents and alkali, crude oil composition, brine composition, temperature and to a lesser extent, pressure. Modifying any one of these variables creates a microemulsion with different properties. The rheological properties of the microemulsion must be adjusted appropriately to achieve good performance under practical reservoir conditions. Two microemulsion properties of primary concern are undesirably high viscosity relative to oil viscosity and non-Newtonian behavior. The broader implications of injecting microemulsions with high viscosities or non-Newtonian behavior in the field include high surfactant retention, unsustainably high pressure gradients, reduced sweep efficiency and microemulsions that stagnate in the field due to high viscosity at low shear rates. The most common ways to reduce microemulsion viscosity are to optimize the surfactant formulation with a good co-solvent and/or by adding more branching to the surfactant hydrophobe. Adding co-solvent in appropriate concentrations makes a microemulsion much less viscous. However, co-solvents increase the cost and complexity and also tend to increase the IFT. A less conventional solution involves increasing the temperature of the injection water thereby lowering both the oil and microemulsion viscosity. This approach has been tested successfully in core floods using both surrogate and reservoir cores." @default.
