Laboratory Study of Enhanced Oil Recovery with Used Palm Oil Surfactant Injection

Currently the waste generated from public consumption in Indonesia is very high. One such used palm oil households and food companies. Utilization of this research by recycling into surfactants which will be Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) process. The surfactant concentrations were 1.3%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.2% 2.5%. began with refining cooking banana peels for 24 hours. In order to make surfactants, mixed KOH distilled water. Additionaly, brine was made a salinity 15,000 ppm. With interfacial tension test, solution an optimum concentration obtained. core flooding test carried out using waterflooding followed at temperature 70 oC. From results obtained incremental recovery factor 8.57% total 47.43%.
