“…), flow assurance, deposit removal and clean-up, and also for EOR operations [95,106]. The nanoparticles reported in the literature as stabilizers are: SWCNTs (single-wall carbon nanotubes)/silica nanoparticles [107], MWCNTs (multi-walled carbon nanotubes)/silica nanoparticles [108] (Figure 19), hydrophilic SiO 2 or partially hydrophobic clay [104,109], spherical nanoparticles of cross-linked polystyrene [110], and zinc oxide (ZnO) or aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) [111]. Besides these stabilizers, the possibility of using surfactant along with the SWCNTs/silica nanohybrid was studied [107].…”

During the past half-century, the prefix "nano" attached to several words, such as "technology", "motors", "device", and so on has denoted cutting-edge research fields and topics at the forefront of classical scientific disciplines. Possible application fields have been frequently evoked, even if real-life examples are still difficult to find. The present review analyzes how nanotechnology is utilized in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes so as to increase the efficiency of mature oilfields. Nanotechnology in EOR is classified into three categories: nanoparticles/nanofluids, nanoemulsions, and nanocatalysts. The advantages at the nanoscale are also described and discussed, including an overview of manufacturing methods as well as the concerns about their possible environmental impacts. Clearly, nanotechnology has the potential to boost EOR techniques, although there are still many questions and drawbacks to be tackled.

“…In petroleum reservoirs, the maximum natural-drive oil recovery is only 20%-60%, that is, nearly 9.8 × 10 11 t of crude oil is the main objective of various enhanced oil recovery methods. [1][2][3] Chemical flooding is a method used to increase oil production by adding chemical agents, which can change the physical-chemical properties of the displacing fluid, the interfacial property of the crude oil, and the interaction mechanism between the displacement fluid and crude oil. 4 Many oilfield tests have been carried out by applying chemical flooding, such as polymer flooding and ASP (alkali/ surfactant/polymer) flooding, but problems exist with these oilfield tests.…”

Emulsification plays an important role in enhancing oil recovery. Experiments and field applications of alkali/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding indicated that the amount of oil recovery in liquids with emulsions is 5% higher than that in liquids with no emulsions. Therefore, it is of great significance to study emulsion and its field application for enhanced oil recovery. This paper discusses the current status of emulsion for enhanced oil recovery, including the formation mechanism of emulsions in chemical flooding, rheological properties, stability, seepage characteristics, emulsion improving sweep volume, and displacement efficiency, along with future development plans of emulsion for enhanced oil recovery, especially surfactants for chemical flooding. In addition, the Pickering emulsion for application in enhanced oil recovery is also discussed. The development effects of emulsion flooding have been discussed for the Midway‐Sunset Oilfield, the emulsification characteristics of ASP flooding have been analyzed in Xing‐V and Xing‐II of the Daqing Oilfield, and the experiences regarding emulsion for enhanced oil recovery have been summarized. The key research directions of emulsion for enhanced oil recovery are indicated.
