However, very few full field applications of nanoparticles as an additive to injection fluids for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) have been reported. Many types of chemical enhanced oil recovery methods have been used in fields all over the world for many decades and have resulted in higher recovery, but the projects have very often not been economic. Therefore, the oil industry is searching for a more efficient enhanced oil recovery method. Based on the success of nanotechnology in various areas of the oil industry, nanoparticles have been extensively studied as an additive in injection fluids for EOR. This book includes a selection of research articles on the use of nanoparticles for EOR application. The articles are discussing nanoparticles as additive in waterflooding and surfactant flooding, stability and wettability alteration ability of nanoparticles and nanoparticle stabilized foam for CO2-EOR. The book also includes articles on nanoparticles as an additive in biopolymer flooding and studies on the use of nanocellulose as a method to increase the viscosity of injection water. Mathematical models of the injection of nanoparticle-polymer solutions are also presented.Technology: general issuesbicsscnanomaterialspore throat size distributionmercury injection capillary pressureinterfacial tensioncontact angleenhanced oil recoverysurfactantnanoparticlechemical floodingnanocellulosecellulose nanocrystalsTEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrilsmicrofluidicsbiopolymersilica nanoparticlesnanoparticle stabilityreservoir conditionreservoir rockcrude oilnanoparticle agglomerationpolymer floodingformation rheological characteristicspolymer concentrationrecovery factormathematical modelnanoparticlesfoamCO2 EORCO2 mobility controlnanotechnology for EORnanoparticles stabilitypolymer-coated nanoparticlescore floodEORwettability alterationnanoparticle-stabilized emulsion and flow diversionTechnology: general issuesTorsaeter Oleedt1319380Torsaeter OleothBOOK9910557372603321Application of Nanoparticles for Oil Recovery3033853UNINA
