Silica Nanofluids in an Oilfield Polymer Polyacrylamide: Interfacial Properties, Wettability Alteration, and Applications for Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery
Oil production from matured crude oil reservoirs is still associated with low recovery factors. Chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is one of the techniques which can significantly improve the recovery factor of the trapped oil. This is mainly achieved by lowering the interfacial tension (IFT) of t...
