Key Market Drivers
Rising Need to Maximize Output from Mature Oil Fields
As conventional oil reserves mature, producers are under pressure to improve recovery rates without incurring the high costs of new exploration. Surfactant-based EOR techniques help unlock residual oil, extending the productive life of existing reservoirs and improving overall field economics.
Growing Adoption of Chemical EOR Techniques
Chemical EOR methods-particularly surfactant flooding-are gaining traction due to their proven effectiveness in improving oil displacement efficiency. Compared to thermal methods, surfactant EOR is increasingly favored in reservoirs where steam injection is not feasible.
Technological Advancements in Surfactant Formulations
Ongoing R&D is leading to the development of more stable, temperature-resistant, and salinity-tolerant surfactants. These innovations enhance performance in harsh reservoir conditions, expanding the applicability of surfactant EOR across diverse geographies.
