Experimental investigation into l-Arg and l-Cys eco-friendly surfactants in enhanced oil recovery by considering IFT reduction and wettability alteration

Abstract Surfactant flooding is an important technique used to improve oil recovery from mature oil reservoirs due to minimizing the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water and/or altering the rock wettability toward water-wet using various surfactant agents including cationic, anionic, non-...
