Nanoparticles in enhanced oil recovery: state-of-the-art review

Abstract Against the backdrop of escalating global energy demand projected to rise by 50% within the next decade, this comprehensive review aims to evaluate and analyze the transformative potential of nanomaterials in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques. The study specifically examines the synergistic interactions between various nanoparticles (NPs) and chemical modifiers, while addressing the critical challenges in practical implementation. The scope encompasses a systematic assessment of different NPs types, their mechanisms of action, their optimization for field-scale applications, and the identification of research gaps that need to be addressed for industrial-scale deployment. The review methodology…
