Formulasi Surfaktan SMES sebagai Acid Stimulation Agent untuk Aplikasi di Lapangan Karbonat OK

Abstract

Methyl Sulfonic Esters (MES) is one type of anionic surfactants which have advantages in terms of its hardness, resistance to deterjensi, the character of renewable and environmentally friendly. Excess MES this can be utilized as stimulation agent in oil wells, so can increase productivity an oil well. Increased productivity an oil well done by means of cleaning oil wells and pore a reservoir fromsediment of scale formed, enlarging the pores of rocks and can changing the nature of rocks being water-wet. This research was carried out to obtain the formula of solution of surfactants-based MES that can be applied as acid stimulation agent that is one method of IOR. Formula tested is a combination of surfactants sodium MES, HCl, and CH3COOH. The formulation is done by determining the optimum concentration of surfactant SMES and HCl gradually. The best results obtained from the solution of acid stimulation agent was with value of IFT < 10-2 dyne/cm with solubility of rock reaches 36%, and was can to change the contact angle of the reservoir rocks of the contact angle number 420 became 680 in formula SMES 6% + HCl 7% and CH3COOH 2%.
