Abstract :
The work is a method of an improving Qaiyara crude oil recovery using a mixture of hot water with surfactant. Laboratory system was designed. Using this system, four tests of hot water with surfactant under various condition were conducted. The first three tests are conducted under temperatures 50, 60, 80oC respectively with mixture of hot water + 2% wt. surfactant. The fourth test is done under 80oC and mixture of hot water +4% surf. The result obtained show the efficiency of hot water with surfactant in improving the recovery. The results show proportioned relation between temperature and surfactant concentration with oil recovery.
