A New Class of Low Surface Energy Anionic Surfactant for Enhanced Oil Recovery
A new type of green low surface energy surfactant (LSES) that is stable in the harsh conditions of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been reported. This efficient surfactant examined by scientists at Swansea University is shown to improve the oil ...

Scientists develop a well-good way to extract oil
The surfactant developed by the team from Swansea University is hydrocarbon-based, which they hope has the potential to be a ‘green’ replacement. To find out, the team, led by Dr Shirin Alexander and Professor Andrew R Barron, turned to the ...
