Zusammenfassung: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.
