Abstract:
The present invention includes a high active or neat, flowable surfactant composition and methods of making and using the same for enhanced oil recovery comprising: at least one of a neat carboxylate, a neat sulfonate, or a neat sulfate heated to 30° C. or greater, wherein the neat carboxylate, the neat sulfonate, or the neat sulfate is a solid or a viscous liquid at ambient temperature; and a surfactant mixed with the neat carboxylate, neat sulfonate, or neat sulfate, wherein when the mixed composition is reduced to 5° C. to 40° C. it is flowable.
