Abstract

We prepared geminal zwitterionic liquids with the capability to obtain the chemical active species from laboratory to scalable production with pure or raw materials. Hence, a green-inspired and efficient process for their synthesis was developed. A performance test at reservoir conditions was conducted and it was found that the synthesized chemicals increase the oil recovery factor in an enhanced oil recovery process with properties as antiscale agents.
