Experimental study on electromagnetic-assisted ZnO nanofluid flooding for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Recently, nano-EOR has emerged as a new frontier for improved and enhanced oil recovery (IOR & EOR). Despite their benefits, the nanoparticles tend to agglomerate at reservoir conditions which cause their detachment from the oil/water interface, and are ...

Application of Nanofluid Injection for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) [PDF]
Journal of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, 2021 The use of nanofluids has been investigated and established for several applications in the oil and gas industry. Using nanoparticles for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) applications underlines their small size in comparison with the size of the rock pore throats; consequently, they could easily transport into porous rocks with minimum retention effect and

An Investigation of Oil Spreading Coefficient in Carbonated Water+ Gas + Oil System: an Experimental Study in an Iranian Asphaltenic Oil Reservoir [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2018 To provide supplementary oil recovery after the primary and secondary processes, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques are introduced. Carbonated water injection (CWI) as an EOR method can improve sweep efficiency and the risk of gas leakage.
