Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant was proven to be a reliable emulsifier for creating stable emulsions used for drilling, well stimulation, and EOR. The presence of acids like HCl during such operations may lead to the formation of acidic emulsions. No previous comprehensive investiga...
