Due to the low porosity and permeability in unconventional reservoirs, a large amount of crude oil is trapped micro-to nano-sized pores throats, which leads recovery. Nanofluids have great potential enhance recovery (EOR) reservoirs. In this work, regulating ability nanofluid at oil/water/solid three-phase interface was explored. The results indicated that reduced oil/water interfacial tension by two orders magnitude, expansion modulus increased 77% equilibrium. addition, solid surface...
Nanoparticles (NPs) have gained significant attention as a functional material due to their ability effectively enhance pressure reduction in injection processes ultra-low permeability reservoirs. NPs are typically studied controlled laboratory conditions, and behavior real-world, complex environments such reservoirs, is not well understood the limited scope of applications. This study investigates efficacy underlying mechanisms decreasing under various conditions (25–85 °C, 10–25 MPa). The...
