Abstract
This review discusses the theoretical basis and examples of implementation of various molecular modeling approaches to the investigation of the properties of surfactants. These surfactant properties include the ability to reduce the interfacial tension and alter the wettability and viscosity of solutions for the purposes of chemical flooding of crude oil reservoirs. A comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the existing molecular dynamics simulation methods is further provided. It is shown that molecular modeling methods can significantly facilitate the choice of surfactants for specific oil field conditions and can serve as a potential alternative to experimental measurements.
期刊介绍:
Petroleum Chemistry (Neftekhimiya), founded in 1961, offers original papers on and reviews of theoretical and experimental studies concerned with current problems of petroleum chemistry and processing such as chemical composition of crude oils and natural gas liquids; petroleum refining (cracking, hydrocracking, and catalytic reforming); catalysts for petrochemical processes (hydrogenation, isomerization, oxidation, hydroformylation, etc.); activation and catalytic transformation of hydrocarbons and other components of petroleum, natural gas, and other complex organic mixtures; new petrochemicals including lubricants and additives; environmental problems; and information on scientific meetings relevant to these areas.
Petroleum Chemistry publishes articles on these topics from members of the scientific community of the former Soviet Union.
