Oilfield surfactants are the chemicals that are used to decrease the surface tension and improve the fluidity. The oilfield surfactants are used between fluid and a solid or between various fluids. Oilfield surfactants possess various physical and chemical properties, which makes them ideal for a wide range of applications. The structural growup of molecules decides the kind of application of oilfield surfactants. The oilfield surfactants help in bring effectiveness and efficiency into the operations.
