Application of Magnetic and Dielectric Nanofluids for Electromagnetic-Assistance Enhanced Oil Recovery: A Review

Crude oil has been one of the most important natural resources since 1856, which was first time a world refinery constructed. However, problem associated with trapped in reservoir is global concern. Consequently, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) modern technique used to improve productivity that being intensively studied. Nanoparticles (NPs) exhibited exceptional outcomes when applied various sectors including and gas industries. The harshness situations disturbs effective transformations NPs particles tend agglomerate consequently leads discrimination their rock pores reservoir. Hence, Electromagnetic-Assisted nanofluids are very consequential supporting performance nanoflooding process. Several studies have shown considerable incremental recovery factors by employing magnetic dielectric assisted electromagnetic radiation. This attributed fact injected absorb energy disaffected from EM source, changes fluid mobility creating disruptions within fluid’s interface allowing be released. paper attempts review experimental work conducted via activation for EOR analyze effect EM-assisted on parameters such as sweeping efficiency, Interfacial tension, wettability alteration. current study significant providing comprehensive analysis role played laboratory experiments substantial prerequisites optimizing process field application future.
