Physicochemical aspects of the regulation of interfacial processes occurring at the oil-water-rock interface in the presence of ionic surfactants and their compositions are considered with the goal of developing efficient, scientifically grounded innovative technologies ensuring enhanced oil recovery and refining. A complex of studies of surface phenomena in the presence of ionic surfactants made it possible to identify criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of their action at the oil-water-rock interface, which makes it possible to predict the behavior of surfactants in real conditions of oil production and to use them purposefully in various enhanced oil recovery technologies.
The features of evaluation of the effectiveness of flow deflection technologies of enhanced oil recovery methods. It is shown that the effect of zeroing component intensification of fluid withdrawal leads to an overestimation of the effect of flow deflection technology (PRP). Used in oil companies practice PRP efficiency calculation, which consists in calculating the effect on each production well responsive to subsequent summation effects, leads to the selective taking into account only the positive components of PRP effect. Negative constituents — not taken into account and it brings overestimate over to overstating of efficiency. On actual examples the groundless overstating and understating of efficiency is shown overestimate at calculations on applied in petroleum companies by a calculation.
