“…In their study of the adsorption interaction between NPs and surfactants, Rattanaudom et al 114 found that the hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces experienced two opposing effects. According to Figure 13, the capability of the surfactant for adsorption on the hydrophilic surface was less than that on the hydrophobic surface.…”

There has been some success with polymer and surfactant injections into depleted sandstone reservoirs for reducing residual oil saturation and improving oil recovery. However, their microemulsion stability is compromised in the harsh conditions of high temperature and salinity. Nanoparticle addition to the polymers and surfactant has resulted in a nanofluid with more stability, improved rheological behaviors, reduced adsorption loss, and much more as a result of the synergistic effects of their components. In this work, the performance of polymeric and surfactant nanofluids and the factors that impair their efficacy were highlighted. Numerous surfactant adsorption mechanisms, such as ion pairing, ion exchange, hydrogen bonds, dipole interactions, and hydrophobic interactions, on the rock surface were illustrated. Synergistic interactions of ternary phases of surfactant, polymer, and nanoparticles to the interfacial tension reduction, wettability alteration, adsorption reduction, rheological enhancement, and nanofluid stability for enhanced oil recovery were also presented. Additionally, the prevailing challenges and their plausible interventions have been highlighted in this review. The summarized results from published papers based on experimental evidence and theoretical deductions presented in this review will uplift the understanding of the screening, designing, and formulation of nanofluids.

“…Rattanaudom et al 14 employed a binary surfactant system with hydrophobic and hydrophilic SiO 2 Nanoparticles (NPs) at a volume ratio of 0.6:0.4. A comprehensive set of experiments was conducted in API brine with an 8:2 weight ratio of NaCl:CaCl 2 to study micro-emulsion phase behavior, interfacial tension (IFT), surfactant adsorption onto NP surfaces, solution and micro-emulsion viscosity, and oil recovery.…”

This study aims to investigate the effects of introducing a 50/50 mixture of silica and magnesium oxide nanoparticles (SNP + MgONP) to the viscosity of Al-Ahdab crude oil (Iraq) at varied concentrations and temperatures. It is observed that the viscosity value drops from 38.49 to 7.8 cP. The highest degree of viscosity reduction is measured to be 56.91% at the maximum temperature of 50 °C and the greatest concentration of 0.4 wt% SM4. The Bingham model can be used to classify the behavior of the crude oil before the Nano-mixture is added. The liquid behavior grew closer to Newtonian behavior once the Nano-mixture was added. Along with a rise in plastic and effective viscosity values, the yield stress value decreases as the concentration of the Nano-mixture increases. The numerical data demonstrate that when the volume proportion of nanoparticles increases, the pressure distribution decreases. Furthermore, as the nanoparticle volume fraction increases, the drag decrease would also increase. SM4 obtains a maximum drag reduction of 53.17%. It is discovered that the sample SM4 has a maximum flow rate increase of 2.408%. Because they reduce the viscosity of crude oil, nanoparticles also reduce the friction factor ratio.
