The in house developed surfactant was evaluated for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) suitability. The evaluation was performed examining the fluid compatibility at various salinities and temperature conditions followed by the interfacial tension (IFT) and foaming ability measurements. Interesting results were observed by IFT of surfactant solution and CO2 gas affinity at 90 oC and up to 2700 psi. Without surfactant, the IFT of CO2-brine were dropped from 70 mN/m to 30 mN/m, by the addition of surfactant, the minimum IFT achieved was 0.06 mN/m. The produced three tailed surfactant produce much stable foam which has the mobility reduction factor (MRF) of 2.4. The MRF of produced surfactant was much better than AOS (commercial surfactant), which has the MRF of 1.2 at same operating conditions. The same trend was also observed the oil recovery achieved by core flood experiment, performed at 90 oC. Maximum recovery factor (RF) achieved by three tailed was of 85% ROOIP. The adsorption factor was controlled by the addition of alkali and was observed less than 0.6 mg/g
