The present review provides recent trend of nanotechnology in the upstream oil sector
research. The experimental developments in laboratory for possible field applications have …

Due to the exclusive size effect, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) exhibit unique chemical,
mechanical and considerably different magnetic properties compared with conventional …

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are of particular interest in multiple fields and in enhanced
oil recovery (EOR) due to their unique advantages and characteristics. Albeit several …

Nanofluid injection has emerged as an attractive enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process in
the past decade. These fluids improve oil recovery by reducing interfacial tension (IFT) …

Tracers are materials injected into reservoirs of enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs) for
reservoir characterization and thermal performance assessment. This work presents a …

Stable dispersions of superparamagnetic nanoparticles that are already in use in
biomedicine as image-enhancing agents also have potential use in subsurface applications …

In this work, the elimination of co-amoxiclav antibiotic from the water environment was
optimized via the ultrasonic process coupled with γ Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles through the …

Frequency-domain electromagnetic induction (FD-EMI) sensors using a double magnetic
dipole (loop–loop) geometry are efficient tools to rapidly sense the electrical and magnetic …

As surface-coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles are capable of flowing through micron-
size pores across long distances in a reservoir, with modest retention in rock, they have …

Imaging hydraulically active fracture zones (HAFZ) is of paramount importance to subsurface
resource extraction, geologic storage, and hazardous waste disposal. We have developed …
