Abstract: The present disclosure provides a surfactant formulation for use in treating and recovering fossil fluid from a subterranean formation. The surfactant formulation includes a nonionic surfactant, organic acid selected from citric acid, diglycolic acid, glycolic acid and a salt thereof and injection water. The surfactant formulation may be injected into one or more injection wells located within the subterranean formation and fossil fluids can then be subsequently recovered from one or more producing wells.

Abstract: A novel, storage-stable, free-flowing, solid product consisting essentially of an alkyl benzene sulphonic acid having 1 to 4 aliphatic carbon atoms and from 7 to 11% water based on the weight of the product, said alkyl benzene sulphonic acid comprising at least 90% by weight of a single isomer based on the total weight of organic material in the product, is prepared by drying a storage-unstable, solid alkyl benzene sulphonic acid having more than 11% by weight water, said drying being effected at sub atmospheric pressure and at a temperature below the softening point of the product.
