Patent

CA 2694913

The present invention relates to methods for improving hydrocarbon and water compatibility. More specifically, the invention relates to methods for enhancing the microbial production of surface-active agents in hydrocarbon-exposed surface waters in order to improve hydrocarbon and water compatibility. Hydrocarbon- exposed surface waters having enhanced levels of surface-active agents can be used to improve hydrocarbon recovery from subterranean formations or for remediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated sites.

La présente invention concerne des procédés destinés à améliorer la compatibilité des hydrocarbures et de l'eau. L'invention concerne, plus spécifiquement, des procédés destinés à améliorer la production microbienne d'agents de surface actifs dans des eaux de surface exposées aux hydrocarbures afin d'améliorer la compatibilité des hydrocarbures et de l'eau. Les eaux de surface exposées aux hydrocarbures présentant des niveaux améliorés d'agents de surface actifs peuvent être utilisées pour améliorer la récupération d'hydrocarbures dans des formations souterraines ou la réhabilitation de sites contaminés par des hydrocarbures.
