Surfactants

Description

This book provides an introduction to the nature, properties, and uses of 'surfactants' (detergents and soaps) in the petroleum industry. These are very important in many parts of the petroleum production process: in reservoirs, in oliwells, in surface processing operations, and in environmental, health and safety applications. They can be used to make drilling muds more effective, to help displace oil and transport it through underground reservoirs to oil wells, to make or break petroleum industry emulsions or foams, and to treat oilspills.
