Molecular modeling, synthesis and characterization of branched geminal zwitterionic liquids for enhanced oil recovery

A Sulfobetaine-based Branched Geminal Zwitterionic Liquid (SBGZL) and another one based on hydroxysultaine (HBGZL), were synthesized and their performance was evaluated in the enhancement of the oil recovery (EOR) when they are injected through flooding water into carbonate reservoirs. SBGZL obtaine...
