Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Surfactant for EOR market size was valued at US$ 117 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 138 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 2.4% during review period.

The concept of recovering oil by surfactant flooding dates back to 1929 when De Groot was granted a patent claiming water-soluble surfactants as an aid to improve oil recovery. Currently, surfactant flooding boosts oil production by lowering interfacial tension, increasing oil mobility thus allowing better displacement of the oil by injected water. Surfactant EOR improves the wetability of porous rocks allowing water to flow through them faster displacing more oil.

Global core surfactant for EOR manufacturers include Stepan, BASF and CNPC. The top 3 manufacturers had a more than 50% combined market share.Asia Pacific is the largest region, with a share more than 45%, followed by Europe and Europe.In terms of product, anionic sulfonate is the largest segment, with a share over 65%. And in terms of application, the largest application is conventional oil field, followed by oil sands oil field.
