A systematic rheological study of alkyl amine surfactants for fluid mobility control in hydrocarbon reservoirs

Abstract The basis of this study is to identify the versatility of N,N,N′-trimethyl-N′-tallow-1,3-diaminopropane (DTTM) surfactant in high saline environments. The surfactant was examined with sodium chloride, NaCl, to understand how triggers such as salt, pH, temperature, and surfactant concentrati...
