“…Surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) are being extensively applied for EOR, their main advantages being their tunability and stability in harsh environmental conditions [ 109 ]. Only two papers have been recently published where the synergism of using SAILs and nanoparticles was exploited [ 110 , 111 ]. Stability and IFT studies were carried out to design a formulation consisting of 0.05 wt% Al 2 O 3 , 1.0 wt% PVP, 0.5 wt% 1-dodecylpyridinium chloride in brine 0.5 wt% NaCl.…”

“…Stability and IFT studies were carried out to design a formulation consisting of 0.05 wt% Al 2 O 3 , 1.0 wt% PVP, 0.5 wt% 1-dodecylpyridinium chloride in brine 0.5 wt% NaCl. The formulation achieved an EOR of 12 %OOIP in carbonate rocks, thus improving the results obtained using just the SAIL or the SAIL plus polymer [ 110 ]. The same methodology was used to design a stable formulation at higher salt content (5 wt% NaCl) [ 111 ].…”

The use of nanofluids is showing promise as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method. Several reviews have been published focusing on the main mechanisms involved in the process. This new study, unlike previous works, aims to collect information about the most promising nano-EOR methods according to their performance in core-flooding tests. As its main contribution, it presents useful information for researchers interested in experimental application of nano-EOR methods. Additional recoveries (after brine flooding) up to 15% of the original oil in place, or higher when combined with smart water or magnetic fields, have been found with formulations consisting of simple nanoparticles in water or brine. The functionalization of nanoparticles and their combination with surfactants and/or polymers take advantage of the synergy of different EOR methods and can lead to higher additional recoveries. The cost, difficulty of preparation, and stability of the formulations have to be considered in practical applications. Additional oil recoveries shown in the reviewed papers encourage the application of the method at larger scales, but experimental limitations could be offering misleading results. More rigorous and systematic works are required to draw reliable conclusions regarding the best type and size of nanoparticles according to the application (type of rock, permeability, formation brine, reservoir conditions, other chemicals in the formulation, etc.)

“…The combination of the nanoparticle, surfactant, and polymer used in chemical flooding has been found to be most effective in chemical EOR. 51 Al-Asadi et al 52 investigated the use of Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles with surface-active ionic liquids for EOR. The addition of nanoparticles and polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to the surfactant formulation increased its viscosity, reduced water−oil IFT, and reduced adsorption on carbonate rocks.…”

In this study, a TiO 2 /sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/xanthan gum (XG) nanofluid is prepared to investigate its effectiveness in additional oil recovery. TiO 2 nanoparticles were synthesized via the sol−gel method and subsequently calcined at 350 °C. The crystalline nature and microstructural features of the synthesized TiO 2 were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, and scanning electron microscopy. The TiO 2 /SDS/XG nanofluid was prepared using a probe sonicator until a clear dispersion of the mixture was achieved. The particle size of the nanofluid was determined through a dynamic light scattering analyzer, revealing a size of approximately 12−18 nm. The prepared nanofluid altered the wettability toward water-wet and reduced the interfacial tension between crude oil and the nanofluid to 0.00771 mN/m, along with surface tension values dropping to 33.2 mN/m. Such changes led to a reduction in capillary force, which in turn facilitated enhanced oil recovery (EOR). An imbibition study was also conducted using collected sandstone cores to measure excess oil recovery in the presence of the prepared nanofluid at a temperature of 50 °C and atmospheric pressure. The imbibition study showed that the nanofluid comprising 0.1% XG, 0.1% SDS, and 0.01% TiO 2 recovered 28% of the original oil in place, which is 33.33% higher than the formulation with 0.1% XG and 0.1% SDS and 100% higher than the 0.1% XG alone. Hence, the proposed formulation shows promise as a potential candidate for chemical EOR methods.
