The application of methyl ester
sulfonic (MES) surfactant for enhanced oil
recovery (EOR) was based on its ability to reduce
interfacial tension in crude oil-water system that
reached 10'3 dyne/cm. Performance of methyl ester
sulfonic (MES) surfactant from palm oil can be
identified with the spinning drop IFT method. The
objectives of this research were to detemine MES
surfactant perfonnance with the addition of
inorganic salt in different conditions. The
dispersing media used in this research were
demineralized water and information water. The
spinning drop 1FT method was conducted usin
spinnillg drop tensiometer TX500D tested in 40, 50
and 60''C. Results showed that reduction of 1FT
values was affected by MES surfactant and
inorganic salt concentration In the demineralized
water and formation water as dispersion medium.
Methyl Ester Sulfonic surfactant could react better
at salinity ranges of 5000-25000 ppm
