ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY WITH LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: MAPPING SCIENCE (ARTICLES) AND TECHNOLOGY (PATENTS) OF SURFACTANTS
Resumo
In the coming decades, it is essential to reduce the environmental impact and maintain the well-being of the population that still strongly depends on oil production. Advanced oil recovery methods with NaCl and surfactant solutions alter rock wettability at the oil-water interface, reducing oil-rock adhesion, and facilitating flow out of the reservoir with less environmental impact. This work provides an overview of the science and technology of injection fluids containing NaCl associated with surfactants, through research in articles (SciVerse Scopus) and patents (Worldwide by Espacenet). Articles (373) and patents (204) were obtained and analyzed detailing annual evolutions, countries of origin of boteh research and technology, type of surfactants (biosurfactants, cationic, anionic and non-ionic), countries developing science and technology and main markets, among others. China leads the production of articles (83) and patents (104). The Asia-Pacific region stands out for having the highest growth rate in the production of surfactants, with China as the largest consumer of surfactants in 2021. The use of cationic surfactants, although less evident, has been increased in the last decade due to their effectiveness in carbonate reservoirs, while anionic surfactants, with more publications and patents, are effective in sandstone reservoirs. Surfactants are clearly among the preferred agents for EOR operations, increasing the recovery of residual oil in mature reservoirs whit quite low environment impact, directing the development of projects by science and technology institutions and undertakings of agreements with companies.
