Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations are designed to extract a higher percentage of recoverable resources and extend the life of an operating oilfield. The success of chemical EOR operations relies on the addition of chemicals to optimize the injection water, in the case of surfactant to reduce the interfacial tension between oil and the aqueous phase, to improve oil mobility within the reservoir. Chemical EOR ultimately enables higher recovery factors, faster oil recovery, and sustainability of operations. Sasol Chemicals offers tailored high-quality surfactants from its extensive portfolio, leveraging industry experience and specific EOR technologies to meet unique reservoir parameters and add value to any oilfield project.
What Makes Our Offerings Unique?
As a global leader in the manufacture of EOR portfolio surfactants, Sasol understands how critical the choice of chemicals is to the overall success of an oil recovery operation. Utilizing a diverse surfactant portfolio and advanced R&D capabilities, Sasol can tailor products to specific oil field properties, while considering environmental, reservoir, and economic factors, to enable data generated and surfactant recommendations made in the laboratory to become relevant to the field. Leveraging in-house feedstocks for production control, Sasol’s surfactants optimize injectivity and crude oil interaction to enhance productivity of ageing or low productivity wells. Sasol's experienced team and state-of-the-art laboratories recommend surfactants using actual reservoir fluids, ensuring efficient and demonstrated EOR strategies.
