Abstract

  Crude oil is limited and non-renewable. But despite this, the quantity of crude oil on hand must meet the increasing global requirements. Reduction of oil production has caused serious oil crises followed by a rise in oil prices. All these causes prompted the oil industry to extract oil from more challenging locations, where access is more difficult, and recovery methods are continually being improved. This has led to the advancement of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. The oleic acid as the model to prepared non-ionic surfactant by reacting with glycols derivatives to produce Alkoxy ethylated oleate used for enhanced oil recovery which showed higher efficiency.
