Abstract :
In this study, Alpha Olefin Sulphonate (AOS) surfactant was injected. This laboratory test aims to verify the correlation between a surfactant solution’s low IFT value and its ability to yield a high oil recovery value. The salinity used in this research was 5000 ppm and 15000 ppm. Then it was mixed with AOS surfactant at concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, and 2%. At the same time, the temperatures used are 30 °C and 60 °C. After testing, it was found that a solution with a salinity of 15,000 ppm and a surfactant concentration of 2% had the lowest IFT value and was proven to have a total RF of 73%.
