    摘要: The present invention is directed to alkylxylene sulfonate for enhanced oil recovery processes. The alkylxylene moiety in the alkylxylene sulfonate contains a high percentage of the 4-alkyl-1,2-dimethyl benzene isomer and a high percentage of alkyl group attachment to the xylene ring at positions higher than the 2-position on the alkyl carbon chain. The present invention is also directed to a method for enhancing the recovery of oil from a subterranean reservoir which method employs the alkylxylene sulfonate of the present invention. The alkylxylene sulfonate is employed in an aqueous media. The method optionally employs co-surfactants. It has surprisingly been discovered that the high percentage of the 4-alkyl-1,2-dimethyl benzene isomer and the high percentage alkyl group attachment to the xylene moiety at positions higher than the 2-position along the alkyl carbon chain on the alkylxylene sulfonate of the present invention provides an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) surfactant having low Interfacial Tension (IFT).

    摘要: A process for preparing a synthetic petroleum sulfonate comprising (a) reacting a first amount of at least one aromatic compound with a first amount of a mixture of olefins having from about 8 to about 100 carbon atoms, in the presence of a strong acid catalyst, wherein the resulting product comprises at least about 60 weight percent of a 1,2,4-trialkylsubstituted aromatic compound; (b) sulfonating the product of (a); and (c) neutralizing the product of (b) with an alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxide or ammonia.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for enhancing the recovery of oil from a subterranean reservoir which method employs an alkylxylene sulfonate that contains a high percentage of the 4-alkyl-1,2-dimethyl benzene isomer and a high percentage of alkyl group attachment to the xylene ring at positions higher than the 2-position on the alkyl carbon chain in an aqueous media, since it has surprisingly been discovered that the high percentage of the 4-alkyl-1,2-dimethyl benzene isomer and the high percentage alkyl group attachment to the xylene moiety at positions higher than the 2-position along the alkyl carbon chain on the alkylxylene sulfonate provides an enhanced oil recovery surfactant having low Interfacial Tension.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to an under-neutralized alkylxylene sulfonic acid composition for enhanced oil recovery processes. The present invention is also directed to a method for enhancing the recovery of oil from a subterranean reservoir which method employs the under-neutralized alkylxylene sulfonic acid compositions of the present invention. The under-neutralized alkylxylene sulfonic acid compositions are employed in an aqueous media. The method optionally employs suitable co-surfactants, such as alcohols, alcohol ethers, polyalkylene glycols, poly(oxyalkylene)glycols and/or poly(oxyalkylene)glycol ethers.
