Screening the synergy of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and carboxymethyl cellulose for surfactant-polymer flooding
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) has emerged in oil and gas industries as a superior substitution to the conventional HPAM and xanthan gum (XG) for high viscosity polymer flooding application. In this study, the combined effect of conventional surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) and CMC f...

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) has emerged in oil and gas industries as a superior substitution to the conventional HPAM and xanthan gum (XG) for high viscosity polymer flooding application. In this study, the combined effect of conventional surfactant, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) and CMC for potential surfactant-polymer (SP) flooding in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has been investigated. Thereafter, SDBS – CMC interaction and the functional groups present in CMC were appropriately identified. The presence of various C–O bonds signifies the existence of carboxymethyl group which greatly influence the rheological properties of CMC solution. The behaviour of SDBS–CMC was characterized by their viscosity, shear rate, solubilization, wettability, and surface tension. Tertiary flooding utilizing SDBS-CMC was performed and compared to commercial SDBS-XG SP flooding. The results indicate several SDBS-CMC combinations are favourable for EOR application. Solution viscosity shows direct relationship with CMC concentrations. Consequently, at any given SDBS concentrations, significant increment was observed at 0.3 wt% and above. However, the trend displayed inconclusive relation to SDBS fractions. Majority of the SDBS-CMC combinations generate Winsor III emulsions particularly at CMC of 0.2 and 0.3 wt%, while Type II were observed in few combinations. Increasing CMC concentrations increased the contact angle, while gradual reductions were observed with SDBS concentrations. The gradual reduction in surface tension was highly influenced by the addition of CMC rather than SDBS. A novel combination of 0.3 wt% SDBS and 0.4 wt% CMC possessed an encouraging criterion in term of viscosity, solubilization, and surface tension reduction for EOR application. Flooding experiment from several SDBS-CMC combinations proved to recover additional oil ranging 16.4–20.2% of oil initially in place (OIIP).
