Research on nanotechnology application in the oil and gas industry has been growing
rapidly in the past decade, as evidenced by the number of scientific articles published in the …

Oil and gas are only two industries that could change because of nanotechnology, a rapidly
growing field. The chemical-enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) method uses chemicals to …

Abstract Enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) processes are used to recover bypassed and
residual oil trapped in the reservoir after primary and secondary recovery methods …

Artificial ocean fertilization (AOF) aims to safely stimulate phytoplankton growth in the ocean
and enhance carbon sequestration. AOF carbon sequestration efficiency appears lower than …

Thermal recovery techniques and solvent-based EOR methods are not applicable in many
of thin post cold heavy oil production with sands (CHOPS) heavy oil reservoirs in Western …

Nanoparticles are a promising alternative to surfactants to stabilize emulsions or foams in
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes due to their effectiveness in very harsh …

Some of the most promising potential applications of nanotechnology to hydraulic fracturing
of coal seam gas (CSG) are reviewed with a focus on Australian CSG wells. Three propitious …

The formation of stable emulsions is a fundamental problem in oil industry that can result in
a sequence of environmental and operational problems. Chemical demulsification is …

Chemical-enhanced oil recovery (chemical-EOR) is a unique strategy that employs chemical
agents with special properties for enhancing crude oil recovery from matured reservoirs …

In recent years, nanomaterials have shown great potential in the enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) process due to their superior properties. In this work, the application of nanomaterials …
