Abstract: An oil recovery process is disclosed which uses a particular class of alkylaryl sulfonate surfactants. The surfactants are derived from an alpha-olefin stream having a broad distribution of even carbon numbers ranging from 12 to 58. The olefin stream is reacted with aromatic feedstock, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, or a mixture thereof to form alkylates, and then reacted with SO3 to form sulfonic acids. The resulting surfactant has high solubilization and ultra-low interfacial tension with crude oils, especially waxy crude oil, having a broad distribution of carbon numbers.

Abstract: Process for preparing high overbased metal sulfurized alkylphenates, wherein a majority of the alkalinity is provided by at least a stoichiometric excess of metal. The process is characterized by a sulfurization reaction using a promoter, followed by overbasing with carbon dioxide, a polyamine, and additional metal base in the presence of an alkylene glycol under reactive conditions at temperatures in the range of about from 150.degree. C. to 190.degree. C. The process affords a metal sulfurized phenate product which is substantially insensitive to overcarbonation, which exhibits low corrosive wear, and which exhibits high rates of acid neutralization. These compositions are useful in the formulation of marine cylinder lubricants.
