Stability of nanofluids along with their promising properties has led to wide applications of
nanoparticles (NPs) in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. Nanofluids that are colloidal …

The increasing demand for fossil fuels and the depleting of light crude oil in the next years
generates the need to exploit heavy and unconventional crude oils. To face this challenge …

During the early 21st century, nanotechnology has stood strong in the oil and gas industry,
with many applications that have gone from laboratory and numerical simulation studies to …

Polymer-based in situ cross-linked gels have been widely used in improving the oil recovery
process; however, the insufficient and uncontrollable gelation time still deteriorates the …

Reducing water production from hydrocarbon wells is one of the major requirements to
prolong the life span of production wells. Gel treatment is commonly regarded as one of the …
