Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the extraction of petroleum from a subterranean petroleum deposit, in which an aqueous, saline surfactant formulation comprising a surfactant mixture for the purpose of reducing the interfacial tension between oil and water to ⁇ 0.1 mN / m, through at least one injection hole in the petroleum deposit pressed in and crude oil is extracted from the deposit through at least one production well, characterized in that the petroleum deposit has a temperature of> 25 ° C and ⁇ 130 ° C and formation water with a salinity of> 50,000 ppm of dissolved salts and that the surfactant mixture has at least one contains anionic surfactant (A) and at least one anionic surfactant (B).
- the invention further relates to a concentrate of the surfactant mixture and the use thereof.
- Surfactants for oil production should be used in saline water at reservoir temperature, among other things. be readily soluble and provide very low interfacial tensions (less than 0.1 mN / m) compared to the crude oil. Ideally, the surfactant solution should form a Winsor Type III microemulsion when in contact with crude oil.
- TDS total dissolved salt
- Olefin sulfonates or alkylarylsulfonates alone are not sufficiently tolerant of salt - especially when polyvalent cations such as calcium ions and magnesium ions are present.
- alkyl alkoxylates When used alone, alkyl alkoxylates have a cloud point that is below 90 ° C at 100,000 ppm TDS.
- Anionically modified alkyl alkoxylates, which may have propyleneoxy groups, may also have solubility problems in the combination of elevated temperature and high salinity. Solubility is usually not a problem at low temperatures and low salinity.
- thermostable connections are required, which do not decompose in the course of the flood process.
- this flood process can result in the surfactants being exposed to high temperatures over a period of half a year to four years.
- the conditions of high salinity described can be found in many oil deposits made of carbonate rock (e.g. in Russia oil deposits in carbonate rock known as carbonate deposits). Sites with> 50 ° C and> 100000 ppm TDS; or e.g. in the Middle East: oil deposits in carbonate rock so-called carbonate deposits with> 90 ° C and> 100000 ppm TDS).
- the surfactants used should have an acceptable or minimal tendency to adsorb on the carbonate rock.
- EP 0177098 describes a surfactant mixture for tertiary oil production, which consists of an alkyl ether carboxylate and an alkylarylsulphonate.
- a surfactant mixture for tertiary oil production which consists of an alkyl ether carboxylate and an alkylarylsulphonate.

- Surfactant formulation is changed by a factor of 20 (from 500 to 10,000 ppm). This is a very big advantage when flooding the deposit, since the desired lowering of the interfacial tension can also be achieved with high dilution. For example, possible surfactant losses due to adsorption are of little or no importance.
- the claimed surfactant concentrate from Example 1a can be handled very well at 40 ° C. It is a homogeneous, low-viscosity liquid, which can be pumped and dosed very easily (ie without high energy expenditure) in view of 60 mPas (high dosing accuracy, no lumps remaining).
- Further surfactants according to the invention were investigated in order to substantiate the breadth of the invention. The degree of ethoxylation was varied.
- Table 6 interfacial tension after 30 min with a surfactant mixture of anionic surfactant (A) of the general formula (I) and anionic surfactant (B) of the general formula (II) on crude oil with API grade 33 at 70 ° C. at various concentrations
- claimed surfactant formulations which contain surfactants with a degree of ethoxylation of 8 or 9, also deliver ultra-low interfacial tensions of 0.001 or 0.008 mN / m (Ex. 1 or 2).
- Example 1d [corresponds to the mixture of anionic surfactant A to anionic surfactant B in a molar ratio of about 30 to 70, consisting of anionic surfactant (A)
- Example 1 and Comparative Example V2 of Table 7 claimed surfactant mixtures comprising a mixture of anionic surfactant (A) and the anionic surfactant (B) provide an interfacial tension almost half as low as the anionic surfactant (A) alone.
- ultra-low interfacial tensions are achieved in Example 1 (0.0085 mN / m), while in Comparative Example V2 the interfacial tensions remain above 0.01 m / N.
- the surfactants in Example 1 and Comparative Example V2 have the same degree of ethoxylation and were prepared analogously to the other compounds.
- the results obtained show that a claimed mixture of the surfactants (A) and (B) is more advantageous than the sole use of the corresponding surfactant (A).
- the surfactant C16 - 7 EO - CH 2 CO 2 Na from comparative example V2 it is a surfactant which was disclosed in US 4,457,373 A.
