The efficiency of enhanced oil recovery with the application of reversible micellar systems (RMS) is determined by the component composition. The results on dielectric spectroscopy of reversible micellar systems’ components based on ammonium salts of fatty acids are presented in this paper. Dielectric spectroscopy was used to estimate the compatibility of RMS key components regarding basic ones. Water and kerosene are the basic components. The nitrogen-containing bases (monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine and polyethylenepolyamines), fatty acids (stearic, distilled oleic, technical oleic acids, bottoms of vegetable and synthetic fatty acids’ production) and monoalcohols (propanol, i-propanol, n-butanol, i-butanol , tert-butanol , cyclohexyl and other alcohols) are the key components of RMS. The dielectric parameters were defined for the tested products: the dielectric loss tangent, the frequency of the electric field, the dielectric constant, the dielectric loss factor and relative values of these parameters.
The principles for the development of reversible micellar systems were formulated according to the results of the dielectric spectroscopy. The principles are based on the evaluation of physical-chemical properties and intermolecular interactions of their constituent components. It is proposed to carry out components selection for reversible micellar systems among nitrogen-containing bases, fatty acids and alcohols in pairs regarding kerosene and water. We recommend to apply distilled oleic acid, polyethylenepolyamines, isopropyl and tret-butyl alcohols.
The formulated principles suggest the possibility to predict the application of petrochemical products as RMS components. Several RMS are developed on the basis of polyethylenepolyamine salts of fatty acids using the proposed principles. The reversible micellar systems can further extract residual oil in tertiary methods of enhancing oil recovery.
