9724 Abstract of the Disclosure A process for the recovery of oil from subterranean oil reservoirs by waterflooding employing ether-linked sulfonate surfactants in which oxidative degradation of the surfactant is retarded through the establishment of an anaerobic condition in the surfactant solution or through the use of oxidation inhibitors. The anaerobic condition may be provided by mechanical means such as scrubbing the injected water with an inert gas in order to remove oxygen or by employing produced well water which is handled under a closed system to exclude oxygen. A preferred class of oxidation inhibitors are sterically hindered phenolic compounds which function as free radical chain inhibitors.
