“…A high surface area to volume ratio will increase the number of adsorption sites, thereby improving asphaltene deposition prevention . Functionalization of the nanoparticle can increase the asphaltene adsorption significantly through the favorable interaction between nanoparticle functional groups and the heteroatoms present in the asphaltene . Nanoparticle porosity can influence the asphaltene adsorption capacity, such as coating the Co 3 O 4 nanoparticle with SiO 2 porous nanofilm increased the adsorption capacity …”

Nanoparticles have been used in conventional enhanced oil recovery to improve the oil recovery efficiency. In this review, we analyzed the roles of nanoparticles in improving enhanced oil recovery. We focused on elucidating the fundamental mechanisms that regulate nanoparticle-induced enhanced oil recovery, including surface wettability alteration, interfacial tension reduction, mobility ratio increase, emulsion stabilization, and foam stabilization. We also discussed factors that control the success of nanoparticle-induced enhanced recovery. Finally, we outlined the current challenges and future research directions with respect to the applications of nanoparticles in enhanced oil recovery.
