Advanced low-salinity aqueous formulations have shown promising results for rock
wettability modification and interfacial tension reduction. Additives, such as surfactant and …

In recent decades, nanotechnology has been more and more used in EOR. In particular, the
nanoparticle-surfactant nanofluid, which is composed of nanoparticles and surfactants, can …

This paper mainly studies the characterization and colloidal stability of surface modified zinc
oxide nanoparticle and pure zinc oxide nanoparticle. According to IUPAC definition, ultrafine …

Unconventional liquid reservoirs are currently one of the most important sources of oil in
North America. Oil production experiences a rapid decline in these reservoirs and this has …

Free energy of nanoparticles can increase the surface activity at the solid/oil/liquid contact
line and remove oil through the disjoining pressure gradient mechanism. Surfactants can …

For water injection development in low-permeability reservoirs, nanoscale SiO2-fluorinated
acrylate polymer nanoemulsions (SCFs) with good properties were prepared through core …

Nanofluid flooding is a novel technology with potential for enhanced oil recovery. In this
study, a biological nanocomposite system was formed by mixing hexamethyldisilazane …

The use of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) has shown promising results in providing higher foam
stability in chemically enhanced oil recovery (cEOR). In this study, hydrophobic SNPs …

Large volumes of unconventional fossil resource are untapped because of the capillary
forces, which kept the oil stranded underground. Furthermore, with the increasing demand …

Application of nanofluids flooding in the oil and gas industry is recently emerging as
enhanced oil recovery methods. Nanoparticles have the ability to alter the rock formation in …
