Recent advances in switchable surfactants for heavy oil production: A review
Surfactants are extensively employed in the cold production of heavy oil. However, producing heavy oil emulsions using conventional surfactants poses a challenge to spontaneous demulsification, necessitating the addition of demulsifiers for oil-water separation. This inevitably increases the exploit...
