Nanotechnology in Enhanced Oil Recovery

About this book

This book presents an in-depth analysis of the various nanotechnologies that have been developed and their potential application in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). It begins with an introduction to EOR, and the current state of the oil and gas industry followed by discussion of various nanoparticles used in EOR, including metal and metal oxide nanoparticles, carbon-based nanoparticles, and composite nanoparticles.

Features

  • Explains the various mechanisms by which nanoparticles can enhance oil recovery, and the challenges and limitations of using nanotechnology in EOR.
  • Provides a comprehensive analysis of how nanoparticles affect EOR, practical application, and simulation.
  • Explores stepwise information about the utility of nanotechnology in EOR.
  • Includes dedicated case study chapters to get an in-depth idea of EOR by using nanotechnology.
  • Illustrates various essential parameters affecting the EOR.
  • Discusses the challenges of nanotechnology-based EOR.

This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers, and professionals in Petroleum and Chemical Engineering, and Nanotechnology.
