Literature Review of Nanotechnology in the Enhanced Oil Recovery
Abstract
In recent studies, there has been an increasing focus on Nanoparticles Enhanced Oil Recovery
(EOR). Nanoparticles EOR is a method that was initially developed to improve microscopic and macroscopic displacement efficiency. In some recent applications nanoparticles have been assisted the conventional EOR methods such as a polymer, surfactant, and Co2 flooding, with the purpose of increasing oil production. Oil recovery by..
