Application of nanoparticles in enhanced oil recovery process is an emerging technology
that is growing very fast as evidenced by the number of increasing publication articles in this …

Due to population growth, the need for energy, especially fossil fuels, is increased every
year. Since the costs of exploring new reservoirs and drilling new wells are very high, most …

A series of novel, nonionic gemini surfactants (GSs) with varying spacer lengths were
synthesized from sunflower (Helianthus) oil for application in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) …

Nanotechnology is deemed to have excellent prospects in various sectors of the oil
industries because of its eco-friendliness and affordability. More specifically, it may be …

The paper focuses on the behaviour of nonionic surfactants (NISs) for enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) processes with special reference to its applicability in the reservoirs of Upper Assam …

Abstract Nanoparticles improve traditional Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods but face
instability issues. Surface modification resolves these, making it vital to understand its impact …

The reservoir heterogeneity is the major cause of poor volumetric sweep efficiency in
sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Displacing fluids (water, chemical solution, gas, and …

Minimizing unwanted water production from oil wells is highly required in the petroleum
industry. This would lead to improved economic life of mature wells that involve new and …

A nanosilica (NS)-based fluid system was evaluated for forming in-situ glass-like material
inside the matrix for permanent gas shutoff. The innovative aspect of this technique is how it …
