    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include modified nonionic surfactant formulations having a nonionic surfactant and a pour point depressant, where the modified nonionic surfactant formulations have a pour point of −54° C. to −75° C. In one or more embodiments, the modified nonionic surfactant formulations can be introduced into a flow of carbon dioxide, where the flow of carbon dioxide and the modified nonionic surfactant formulation are injected into an oil containing reservoir. In one or more embodiments, an emulsion of the carbon dioxide and the nonionic surfactant form in the oil containing reservoir, where the use of the pour point depressant provides minimal interference in forming the emulsion.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a sandstone-containing oil reservoir additive composition that includes (a) a nonionic wettability alteration agent having Formula (I): and (b) an injection fluid. For Formula (I), R is an alkyl residue from a branched secondary alcohol initiator, where R can have a carbon number of C4 to C10, x is from 3 to 10 and y is from 1 to 20. The injection fluid can be selected from the group consisting of sea water, engineered water, injection brine, produced brine or combinations thereof. The nonionic wettability agent in the sandstone reservoir additive composition can be from 0.01 weight percent (wt %) to 20 wt % based on the total weight of the sandstone reservoir additive composition. The sandstone-containing oil reservoir additive composition can be used in enhance oil recovery operations, such as a waterflooding operation or a carbon dioxide flooding operation.
