Application of nanoparticles for chemical enhanced oil recovery
Finally, the application of nanoparticles in core flooding experiments is classified basedon the dominant mechanism which causes an increase in oil recovery from cores. However, thepreparation of homogeneous suspensions of nanoparticles is a technical challenge when usingnanoparticles in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). His Ph.D. thesis includes research on different aspects and applications of polymers for enhanced oil recovery, including shear‐degradable polymers, polymers for high‐ salinity and high‐temperature reservoir conditions, polymeric sacrificial agents, and polymer‐coated nanoparticles. In addition to previous applications of nanotechnology in petroleum upstreams, enormous researches have been made on the title of implementing of nanoparticles on the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from petroleum reservoirs . Hence, in some studies the applications of nanoparticles in oil industry have been reported and classified based on priority. We have studied the stability and mobility of functionalized (hydroxylated, PEG and sulfonic acid) silica nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery applications, particularly at high salt which in some cases is amenable to tertiary or enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) processes. Chemical EOR processes encompass a variety of mechanisms, including a reduction in the oil-water interfacial tension,3–5 sur-face wettability alteration,6–10 the use of high viscosity agents for mobility control,11–14 application of thermal methods One of the speculated areas of application is in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). EOR is especially important now because of the recent global rise in energy demand which is expected to be met by the oil and gas industry. The ability of nanoparticles to alter certain factors in the formation and in oil properties can be taken advantage of to

Recently, nanoparticles have attracted the attention due to their unique properties. A large number of nanoparticles have been investigated for enhanced oil recovery applications either alone or in combination with surfactants and/or polymers. This review discusses the various types of nanoparticles that have been utilized in enhanced oil recovery. Chemical methods of enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) are applied for improving oil recovery from different kinds of oil reservoirs due to their ability for modifying some crucial parameters in porous media, such as mobility ratio (M), wettability, spreading behavior of chemical solutions on rock surface and the interfacial tension (IFT) between water and oil. His Ph.D. thesis includes research on different aspects and applications of polymers for enhanced oil recovery, including shear‐degradable polymers, polymers for high‐ salinity and high‐temperature reservoir conditions, polymeric sacrificial agents, and polymer‐coated nanoparticles. Application of Nanoparticles in Enhanced Oil Recovery: A Critical Review of Recent Progress and opportunities for future study regarding application of nanoparticles in EOR processes Nanotechnology has the potential to profoundly change enhanced oil recovery and to improve mechanism of recovery. This paper, therefore, focuses on the reviews of the application of nano technology in chemical flooding process in oil recovery and reviews the application nano in the polymer and surfactant flooding on the interfacial tension process.
