Abstract
An oil recovery process is disclosed which uses a particular class of alkylaryl sulfonate surfactants. The surfactants are derived from an alpha-olefin stream having a broad distribution of even carbon numbers ranging from 12 to 58. The olefin stream is reacted with aromatic feedstock, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, or a mixture thereof to form alkylates, and then reacted with SO3 to form sulfonic acids. The resulting surfactant has high solubilization and ultra-low interfacial tension with crude oils, especially waxy crude oil, having a broad distribution of carbon numbers.
