PENENTUAN KONDISI PROSES PRODUKSI SURFAKTAN MES UNTUK APLIKASI EOR PADA BATUAN KARBONAT
ABSTRACT: Surfactant injection
is one of the ways to lessen oil remains left in reservoir. This is done by
injecting an active surface substance into reservoir until the tension of
water-oil interface can be degraded. Reducing interfacial tension results in a
reduced capillary pressure on pore stricture area of reservoir rocks until the
oil caught in the pores can be pushed and produced. In order to make this process function
optimally, an appropriate surfactant that fits the condition and formation of
water and reservoir is needed. This
study was conducted to get the best time of sulfonation process for producing
MES surfactant with lower interfacial tension for EOR application at carbonate
rock and to determine purification process of MES surfactant. Results showed
that the best time of sulphonation to produce MES surfactant was from the third
hour to the fourth hour. The selected
purification process was conducted without methanol addition.
