About the Authors
Dr. Abdul Ravoof Shaik

is currently working as Specialist, Reservoir Engineering in ADNOC, UAE. Dr. Abdul Ravoof Shaik is a leading researcher in the area of AI applications in SCAL and chemical EOR. After finishing his ME and Ph.D. at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, he worked in ADNOC research and innovation center, Khalifa University (formerly Petroleum Institute) from 20142019. His research chiefly focuses on fluid transport through porous media. He won SPE Asia-Pacific student content in 2008 and has received a Star Fellowship Award from the SP. He was also given APA Award from the Australian government, for his exceptional research.

Dr. Muhammad Mushtaq

is currently with Group Research and Technology at PETRONAS Research Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia. He is working on Nano augmented scale inhibitors, EOR surfactants, gels, fines control, and flow diverters.

Before joining PETRONAS, he was a leading researcher in the EOR Labs at ADNOC Research & Innovation Centre for carbonate reservoirs in Abu Dhabi (formerly The Petroleum Institute). He joined ADRIC after completing his Ph.D. from UTP, Malaysia. He worked on the surfactant microemulsion phase behavior and was leading a group on the research on the polymers evaluation for high salinity high temperature conditions for EOR applications in carbonates.

His primary research interests are low IFT microemulsions, foam application for high-pressure, high temperature EOR applications, and polymer rheology and propagation in porous media.

Dr. Muhammad has several publications and a book chapter on surfactants and polymer in EOR applications.

1.1 What Are the Surfactants?
Surfactants are organic compounds, also termed as surface active agents. Surfactants contain at least one lyophilic (solvent-loving) and at least one lyophobic (solvent-fearing) group in the molecule. In usual circumstances, the solvent is water and the terms hydrophobic and hydrophilic are used for solvent-fearing and solvent-loving groups, respectively. Traditionally, the polar group is termed as head, and the long non-polar chain is known as tail (see Fig. ). The hydrophilic group is usually polar and is soluble in water while the hydrophobic group is non-polar and is water-insoluble, soluble in non-polar phases. Due to this unique ability to have two different groups available in the same molecule, surfactants act on the interface of two immiscible phases (e.g., water and oil) and lower the interfacial tension (IFT) between these two phases. During this IFT lowering process, the hydrophilic part of the surfactants remains in the water, while the hydrophobic part tries to remain in the oil, making more contact between the two phases and causes the IFT to reduce. The interfacial tension is called surface tension when air is in the non-polar phase.

Structures of some anionic surfactants

The ability of surfactants to act on the interface makes them unique in the chemical industry, and therefore, the surfactants play a major role in many industrial and household applications. They are used in domestic and industrial processes for cleaning, wetting, dispersion, emulsification, foaming, and antifoaming applications. Numerous industrial and household chemical formulations use surfactants as detergents, soaps, shampoos, inks, paints, adhesives, herbicides, firefighting chemicals, leak detectors, and as active agents for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications. Due to these multifarious applications, surfactants capture a remarkable portion of the chemical market. Anionic surfactants are the major players in the surfactant market, and their global demand in 2010 was 6.5 million tons.

1.1.1 Classification of Surfactants

Depending on the charge present on their head group in solutions, surfactants are divided into four types: anionic, cationic, non-ionic, and amphoteric surfactants.
