UFAFLOW

Mono alkyl benzene sulfonates

Description

Our newly developed mono alkyl benzene sulfonates are different from traditionally available sulfonates used in home and personal care and Industrial & Institutional applications.

Why choose UFAFLOW?

  • Their higher molecular weight, hydrophobic character and their unique molecular structures and specifications are able to obtain ultralow interfacial tension (IFT) at optimal salinity and a low IFT value at Windsor II- phase. Combining low or optimal salinity with the UFAFLOW products have proven high oil recovery in core flooding experiments in the laboratory at realistic and typical conditions found at NCS. The system design has included high temperature, typically 70-80 °C with reservoir cores and crude oil from NCS fields. Unger is able to further customize and develop new EOR surfactants to meet the specific field and reservoir conditions when needed.To meet the practical challenge of performing a real EOR operation, injection design has devoted much attention to optimize time and volume of injection water containing chemicals. By having screened and tested our surfactants for different conditions, we are able to meet new specific fields much faster, cheaper, more efficient and with a reduced risk. Typical usage of Ufaflow surfactant in injection water is 0,5 % but can vary from 0,3 till 1,0 %.

Chemical EOR concept​

Unger’s approach has been to prove the concept of robust EOR using low salinity water (LSW) with surfactant and polymer.

Several experiments, tests and analysis have been performed together with our partners, external research institutes and oil companies, to ensure realistic and accurate test conditions. The surfactants do not only have to perform well regarding ability to mobilize oil, they do also need to be efficiently implemented into the injection water at the desired localization.

The logistical solutions and economical aspects of performing an EOR operation especially offshore are key parameters to overcome. We have therefore worked to simplify surfactant flooding processes and to maximize oil recovery per unit surfactant by finding synergism between LSW, surfactant and polymer. The Strategic location of our production plant by the North Sea delivers a cost efficient production process. It makes it possible to achieve a coverage of solutions throu
