Abstract: The use of surfactant as drilling fluid,stimulation fluid,production,injection and enhanced oil recovery chemicals is reviewed.The growing need of surfactants for purposes other than as emulsifiers,demulsifiers,lubricants and foam agents is predicted,though many technical and economic problems remain to be solved.

摘要： 评述了作为钻井液、增产液、采油注水及提高采收率用的化学剂。虽然仍有很多技术问题和经济问题需要解决,但是可以预见除了用作乳化剂、破乳剂、润滑剂、发泡剂之外,还有很多特殊用途的活性剂都要增长。
