“…The carboxylic groups in the nanoparticle were previously shown to form hydrogen bonds with sandstones, which may promote the solubilization of oil from the proppant grains at the three-phase contact line. Similarly, the cationic surfactant can form ion pairs with adsorbed carboxylate groups of oil, leading to their detachment from rock surfaces. However, in this study, the surfactant was injected not only to restore the wettability of oil-wet fracture and proppant surfaces but also to adsorb on proppant grains and prevent further wettability alteration during oil production. We show that the adsorption of the cationic surfactant on the proppant has a relatively long-lasting effect on wettability compared to the anionic nanoparticle due to its strong interactions with the silanol groups of quartz .…”

“…The application of surfactants aims to change the behavior of the interface of a system of two immiscible fluids that are in the same place simultaneously. Its use implies reducing the interfacial tension between water and oil, mobilizing, and producing the oil retained in the reservoir through capillary forces. …”

“…In these reservoirs, chemical agents play a crucial role. [5][6][7]7 Surfactants, as one of the chemical agents, can effectively enhance oil recovery by reducing the interfacial tension between oil and water and improving the wettability of the rock surfaces. 8−14 In tertiary oil recovery, commonly used types of surfactants include anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, and anionic−nonionic surfactants.…”

“…With the increasing demand for energy, petroleum exploration is moving toward deep and ultradeep wells, making the development more challenging. The development of high-temperature and high-salinity reservoirs is becoming more prominent. In these reservoirs, chemical agents play a crucial role. , Surfactants, as one of the chemical agents, can effectively enhance oil recovery by reducing the interfacial tension between oil and water and improving the wettability of the rock surfaces. …”
