“…In order to investigate the emulsion stability and polymer solutions in reservoir conditions, several NP-modified polymers have been developed by researchers. Wang et al [39] focused on the effect of Na-montmorillonite (Na-Mt) particles and hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) on emulsion stability. They also studied the interfacial properties of water-oil, dilatational viscoelasticity, IFT and zeta potentials.…”

Nanoparticles (NPs) are known as important nanomaterials for a broad range of commercial and research applications owing to their physical characteristics and properties. Currently, the demand for NPs for use in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is very high. The use of NPs can drastically benefit EOR by changing the wettability of the rock, improving the mobility of the oil drop and decreasing the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil/water. This paper focuses on a review of the application of NPs in the flooding process, the effect of NPs on wettability and the IFT. The study also presents a review of several investigations about the most common NPs, their physical and mechanical properties and benefits in EOR.

“…When the Na-Mt particle concentration was more than 250 mg/L, the zeta potential of the oil droplets was stable, while the interfacial tension and dilational viscoelasticity showed a slight increase. It could be seen that the system formed a large oil-mineral aggregate structure, so the oil droplets were apt to form aggregates which would enhance the treatment of polymer flooding produced water [46].…”

Chemical flooding is of increasing interest and importance due to high oil prices and the need to increase oil production. Research in nanotechnology in the petroleum industry is advancing rapidly, and an enormous progress in the application of nanotechnology in this area is to be expected. The nanotechnology has been widely used in several other industries, and the interest in the oil industry is increasing. Nanotechnology has the potential to profoundly change enhanced oil recovery and to improve mechanism of recovery, and it is chosen as an alternative method to unlock the remaining oil resources and applied as a new enhanced oil recovery method in last decade. This paper therefore focuses on the reviews of the application of nanotechnology in chemical flooding process in oil recovery and reviews the applications of nanomaterials for improving oil recovery that have been proposed to explain oil displacement by polymer flooding within oil reservoirs, and also this paper highlights the research advances of polymer in oil recovery. Nanochemical flooding is an immature method from an application point of view.

“…In our previous work, we used laponite and Na-montmorillonite particles as model particles to investigate the effect of particles on emulsion stability in the produced water system from ASP flooding (Li et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2012). Results suggested that the presence of particles can enhance O/W emulsion stability.…”
