ABSTRACT:
Liquid crystals are used in place of microemulsions in a process for chemically enhanced oil recovery. The liquid crystals compositions contain ethoxylated surfactants having appropriately balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic properties. These compositions result in a faster and greater recovery of crude oil as compared to microemulsions.
