Dataset on modelling natural surfactant adsorption derived from non-edible seed oil (linseed oil) on sandstone reservoir rock.

Surfactant flooding is adjudged one of the most promising chemicals enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) methods due to its high microscopic sweep efficiency. This surfactant shows high potential in mobilizing trapped residual oil (ganglia) through excellent lowering of the interfacial tension (IFT) between the crude oil-aqueous interface to ultra-low values while favorably altering the wettability (oil-wet to water-wet). Surfactant adsorption is a critical factor that determines how successful this cEOR method will be as well as the project economics.

Dataset on modelling a synthetic oil rim reservoirs for optimizing oil production during gas cap blow down strategy.

Oil rim reservoirs with very large gas caps, strong aquifers, and pay thickness below 30 ft. pose oil production challenges to operators. With best operational practices, very high gas oil ratios are recorded at the initial onset of oil production, thus such reservoirs are subjected to a gas cap blow down leading to an ultimate loss in oil reserves.
