Ultralow interfacial tension in enhanced oil recovery (EOR)
Increasing energy demands require improved methods for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Chemical EOR methods are most promising for maximum oil recovery, but, so far, limited due to high costs of chemicals and environmental concerns. Therefore, there is a huge interest in optimizing procedures for chemical EOR that minimize the amount of chemicals needed and rely on natural compounds, thus decreasi...
متن کاملEffects 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 کاملSynthesis Techniques for Polymers Applied to Enhanced Oil Recovery
The use of water soluble polymers for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) provides an additional chance to extract between 5 to 30% of total oil in place from drilled and mature reservoirs [1]. A big number of patents, mainly from multinational companies, remark the importance of polymers for EOR [2]. The role of the polymer in the aqueous solution is to increase the viscosity of the displacement solut...
متن کاملFlow Behavior and Displacement Mechanisms of Nanoparticle Stabilized Foam Flooding for Enhanced Heavy Oil Recovery
In this study, nanoparticle stabilized foam experiments were performed in bulk tests, micromodels, and sandpacks at elevated temperatures and pressures to investigate the flow behavior and displacement mechanisms for enhanced heavy oil recovery. The results from the bulk tests showed that the stability of the foam and oil in water (O/W) emulsion improved when silica nanoparticles (SiO2) were ad...
