“…Encapsulation of extracted essential oil from hyssop in a nano-complex improves the antioxidant and antifungal efficiency of the oil (Hadidi et al 2021). The application of nano-silica in the procedure of oil cementing enhances the resistance of the cement (Goyal et al 2021;Thakkar et al 2020). In the process of oil recovery, there is a high energy loss that imposes damages to the injection system and lowers the heat level.…”

Nanotechnology is one of the most emerging fields of research within recent decades and is based upon the exploitation of nano-sized materials (e.g., nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanomembranes, nanowires, nanofibers and so on) in various operational fields. Nanomaterials have multiple advantages, including high stability, target selectivity, and plasticity. Diverse biotic (e.g., Capsid of viruses and algae) and abiotic (e.g., Carbon, silver, gold and etc.) materials can be utilized in the synthesis process of nanomaterials. "Nanobiotechnology" is the combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology disciplines. Nano-based approaches are developed to improve the traditional biotechnological methods and overcome their limitations, such as the side effects caused by conventional therapies. Several studies have reported that nanobiotechnology has remarkably enhanced the efficiency of various techniques, including drug delivery, water and soil remediation, and enzymatic processes. In this review, techniques that benefit the most from nano-biotechnological approaches, are categorized into four major fields: medical, industrial, agricultural, and environmental.

“…Two leading causes of chronic leakage are inadequate cement sheath quality and cement-formation bond quality. 7 To avoid the issues mentioned above, the right cementing materials and approaches must be used to ensure effective hydrocarbon exploration and production. Remedial cementing is a viable solution to this problem although having the drawback of required extra time and financial resources.…”

“…Oil production can be hindered by cement failure, microannulus formation, cement paste deterioration, casing corrosion, and acid or sulfur. , There are severe consequences from fluid leaks through microannuli, such as erosion and deterioration of the cement sheath, expenses for reconstruction and abandonment, and risk and disturbance to the local ecology. Two leading causes of chronic leakage are inadequate cement sheath quality and cement-formation bond quality . To avoid the issues mentioned above, the right cementing materials and approaches must be used to ensure effective hydrocarbon exploration and production.…”

Proper annular sealing is imperative for isolating wellbores, preventing leaks to the surface and protecting groundwater during oil drilling operations. Cementing between the casing and borehole is crucial, yet cement failures potentially risk disastrous leaks and massive economic losses for exploration and production companies. Novel additives such as gilsonite nanoparticles (NPs) present a promising solution to enhance cement integrity. This study investigated the effects of incorporating gilsonite NPs on cement performance under conditions mimicking typical downhole environments. Cement slurries were formulated using a water-to-cement ratio of 0.44 and a calcium chloride content of 2% by weight of cement (BWOC). The concentration of gilsonite NPs varied from 0.01 to 0.04% BWOC. The slurries were tested for rheology, morphology, crystallization, and compressive strength following American Petroleum Institute guidelines and compared to the base slurry. Significant cement property improvements were achieved with gilsonite NPs. The addition of 0.04% BWOC gilsonite resulted in a significant 53% increase in compressive strength, from 4777 (base) to 7306 psi, after curing at 100 °C and 1000 psi. Real-time strength development showed an accelerated setting and higher ultimate strength. Fluid loss was reduced by 32% compared to that of the base slurry. The slurries exhibited enhanced shear-thickening behavior and gel strength. Young's modulus decreased, while Poisson's ratio increased, indicating improved flexibility. Porosity and permeability decreased by 29 and 76%, respectively, at 0.04% concentration. Microstructural analysis revealed a denser, more compact cement matrix with improved particle bonding. Further work should examine the performance following accelerated age testing. The mechanical, rheological, and physical enhancements could enable long-term cement sheath integrity over decades of good life, preventing leakage and associated consequences.
