“…Zirconium oxide nanoparticles are materials with high mechanical strength and temperature resistance (Pareja et al, 2006). ZrO2 has been employed in adsorption and conductivity studies in the presence of surfactants, where ZrO2 nanoparticle and surfactant formulations enhanced surface activity and adsorption behaviour (Esmaeilzadeh et al, 2011). NiO nanoparticles are standard materials in the fabrication of magnetic materials, gas sensors, films and cathodes of alkaline batteries (Wu et al, 2007;Thota and Kumar 2007;Hotovy et al, 2006;Min et al, 2007); however, no study investigated the capabilities of NiO with respect to wettability alteration of fractured limestone formations.…”

Nanoparticles have gained considerable interest in recent times for oil recovery purposes owing to significant capabilities in wettability alteration of reservoir rocks. Wettability is a key factor controlling displacement efficiency and ultimate recovery of oil. The present study investigates the influence of zirconium (IV) oxide (ZrO2) and nickel (II) oxide (NiO) nanoparticles on the wetting preference of fractured (oil-wet) limestone formations. Wettability was assessed through SEM, AFM and contact angle. The potentials of the nanoparticles to alter oil-wet calcite substrates water wet, was experimentally tested at low nanoparticle concentrations (0.004-0.05 wt%). Quite similar behaviour was observed for both nanoparticles at the same particle concentration; while ZrO2 demonstrated a better efficiency by altering strongly oil-wet (water contact angle θ =152°) calcite substrates into a strongly water-wet (θ =44°) state, NiO changed wettability to an intermediate-wet condition (θ =86°) at 0.05 wt% nanoparticle concentration. We conclude that ZrO2 is very efficient in terms of inducing strong water-wettability; and ZrO2 based nanofluids have a high potential as EOR agents.

“…The loss of surfactant by adsorption on the reservoir rock during flooding operation is a major concern as it impairs the effectiveness of surfactant to reduce the IFT and makes the chemical flooding process economically unfeasible . The surfactant loss within the reservoir can be minimized by injecting a small amount of alkali, such as sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate and sodium polyacrylate, which are commonly known as sacrificial agent, along with the surfactant into the reservoir .…”

The adsorption behaviour of aqueous solutions of anionic surfactant and polymeric surfactant derived from Jatropha oil onto sand surface was investigated in connection of their application in enhanced oil recovery. The loss of surfactant by adsorption on reservoir rock must be premeditated for proper design of injected surfactant slugs in a chemical enhanced oil recovery. The sand particles used in the present study as representative of reservoir rock were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and energy-dispersive X-ray analyses.Adsorption properties were studied as a function of time and concentration for both surfactant and polymeric surfactant. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted with the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Redlich-Peterson isotherm models. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption of surfactant and polymeric surfactant were spontaneous in sand-aqueous system. The kinetics of adsorption was explained using different equations, namely, the Lagergren first-order equation, the pseudo second-order equation, and the intraparticle diffusion equation. The kinetic parameters in each model were identified and measured in order to explain adsorption dynamics.

“…The solid surface adsorption starts to increase until a bilayer is formed on the solid surface. Addition of nanoparticles helps the molecules at the liquid-liquid interface and affect the interfacial and adsorption behaviour of the process [96,97]. Even when nanoparticles are of the right size and stable in solution, adsorption can also impede their transportation through porous media.…”

Nanotechnology has found its way to petroleum engineering, it is well-accepted path in the oil and gas industry to recover more oil trapped in the reservoir. But the addition of nanoparticles to a liquid can result in the simplest flow becoming complex. To understand the working mechanism, there is a need to study the flow behaviour of these particles. This review highlights the mechanism affecting the flow of nanoparticles in porous media as it relates to enhanced oil recovery. The discussion focuses on chemical-enhanced oil recovery, a review on laboratory experiment on wettability alteration, effect of interfacial tension and the stability of emulsion and foam is discussed. The flow behaviour of nanoparticles in porous media was discussed laying emphasis on the physical aspect of the flow, the microscopic rheological behaviour and the adsorption of the nanoparticles. It was observed that nanofluids exhibit Newtonian behaviour at low shear rate and non-Newtonian behaviour at high shear rate. Gravitational and capillary forces are responsible for the shift in wettability from oil-wet to water-wet. The dominant mechanisms of foam flow process were lamellae division and bubble to multiple bubble lamellae division. In a water-wet system, the dominant mechanism of flow process and residual oil mobilization are lamellae division and emulsification, respectively. Whereas in an oil-wet system, the generation of pre-spinning continuous gas foam was the dominant mechanism. The literature review on oil displacement test and field trials indicates that nanoparticles can recover additional oil. The challenges encountered have opened new frontier for research and are highlighted herein.
