Zusammenfassung:Described herein are penetrating compositions that include ethoxylated C12- C16 alcohols, 2-ethyl hexanol, and isopropyl alcohol, and are injectable into a near-wellbore subterranean formation. The penetrating compositions may include water or brine. The penetrating compositions are free of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EGMBE) and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE). Also described are methods of using penetrating compositions that that include introducing a penetrating composition into a near-wellbore formation and reducing surface tension at an oil/water interface within the formation.
