Overview of surfactant flooding as a method of increasing oil recovery and the applicability of microcapsulation technology to improve the efficiency of surfactant flooding

Abstract
The problem of increasing the degree of oil recovery from reservoir formations has remained relevant over the past few decades.
Currently, there is a rapid increase in interest in chemical methods of increasing oil recovery to intensify oil production, in particular, flooding with surfactants (surfactants).
This article describes the factors affecting the efficiency of self-winding and the effect of adsorption on the eco-nomic component of the technology. To solve the problem of adsorption, preventing the large-scale introduction of surfactant, it is proposed to use the technology of microencapsulation of surfactants in a solid shell.
