Effects of nanoparticles on wettability: A review on applications of nanotechnology in the enhanced Oil recovery
Recently, a renewed interest arises in the application of nanotechnology for the upstream petroleum industry. In particular, adding nanoparticles to fluids may drastically benefit enhanced oil recovery and improve well drilling, by changing the properties of the fluid, rocks wettability alteration, advanced drag reduction, strengthening the sand consolidation, reducing the inter-facial tension and...

متن کاملFractional-Flow Models for Foam Enhanced Oil Recovery
George E. P. Box wrote, "All models are false, but some models are useful." In that spirit, we examine fractionalflow models for foam enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This approach has long fascinated practitioners by transforming a physics problem first into a mathematics problem and then into a geometry puzzle. This approach, sometimes called the method of characteristics (MOC), makes many seriou...
متن کاملInvestigation of Chemical-Foam Design as a Novel Approach toward Immiscible Foam Flooding for Enhanced Oil Recovery
Strong foam can be generated in porous media containing oil, resulting in incremental oil recovery; however, oil recovery factor is restricted. A large fraction of oil recovered by foam flooding forms an oil-in-water emulsion, so that costly methods may need to be used to separate the oil. Moreover, strong foam could create a large pressure gradient, which may cause fractures in the reservoir. ...
متن کاملFluorosurfactants in Enhanced Oil Recovery
Fluorosurfactants are effective in a variety of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques including (i) improving subterranean wetting, (ii) increasing foam stability, and (iii) modifying the surface properties of the reservoir formation. While fluorosurfactants have been used in gas and oil exploration for four decades, the increased demand for petroleum and the greater understanding of the benef...
