Nanotechnology has attracted a great attention in enhancing oil recovery (EOR) due to the cost-effective and environmental friendly manner. The size of nanoparticles for EOR usually is in a range of 1–100 nm, which may slightly differ from various international organisations.
Application of Nanoparticles in Enhanced Oil Recovery: A Critical Review of Recent Progress and opportunities for future study regarding application of nanoparticles in EOR processes Nanotechnology has the potential to profoundly change enhanced oil recovery and to improve mechanism of recovery. This paper, therefore, focuses on the reviews of the application of nano technology in chemical flooding process in oil recovery and reviews the application nano in the polymer and surfactant flooding on the interfacial tension process. We have studied the stability and mobility of functionalized (hydroxylated, PEG and sulfonic acid) silica nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery applications, particularly at high salt Recently, researchers have proved the application of nanoparticles (NPs) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in ambient temperature. However, to our knowledge no attempt has been undertaken experimentally to investigate the influence of NPs on EOR at higher temperatures. In this study, aluminum oxide (Al2O3), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and silicon dioxide (SiO2) were selected for EOR purposes from This paper therefore focuses on the reviews of the application of nanotechnology in chemical flooding process in oil recovery and reviews the applications of nanomaterials for improving oil recovery that have been proposed to explain oil displacement by polymer flooding within oil reservoirs, and also this paper highlights the research advances Polymer‐coated nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery.

In addition to previous applications of nanotechnology in petroleum upstreams, enormous researches have been made on the title of implementing of nanoparticles on the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from petroleum reservoirs . Hence, in some studies the applications of nanoparticles in oil industry have been reported and classified based on priority. We have studied the stability and mobility of functionalized (hydroxylated, PEG and sulfonic acid) silica nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery applications, particularly at high salt which in some cases is amenable to tertiary or enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) processes. Chemical EOR processes encompass a variety of mechanisms, including a reduction in the oil-water interfacial tension,3–5 sur-face wettability alteration,6–10 the use of high viscosity agents for mobility control,11–14 application of thermal methods One of the speculated areas of application is in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). EOR is especially important now because of the recent global rise in energy demand which is expected to be met by the oil and gas industry. The ability of nanoparticles to alter certain factors in the formation and in oil properties can be taken advantage of to Most oil reservoirs around the world are experiencing their second half of life. Hence, the necessity of appropriate enhanced oil recovery (EOR) method as a more efficient technology gets further importance. Nanotechnology is an advanced technology that has proved its potential to enhance oil recovery.
