“…Their flat geometry allows them to slide more easily along surfaces, thereby improving fluid rheology and reducing viscosity fluctuations. Furthermore, nanoplates can act as reinforcement agents, enhancing the structural integrity of the drilling fluid matrix and preventing the sagging or settling of solids . This helps maintain wellbore stability and prevents issues, such as differential sticking.…”

The exigency for efficient drilling fluids (mud) in the oil and gas industry has prompted the development of novel additives to address challenges encountered in high-temperature wells. Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) possess distinctive characteristics, including low toxicity and exceptional thermal stability. This study explored the synthesis of CuO NPs using a natural extract from Colocasia esculenta leaves. The extract is abundant in phytochemicals and serves as both reducing and capping agents. The potential of the biogenic CuO NPs to enhance the lubricity in mud has been explored for the first time. Their ability to form a continuous and thin lubricating film at the muddrill string interface is expected to reduce the frictional resistance between them significantly. Besides this, the filtration and rheological performance of the developed mud have also been investigated. The formulation exhibited significant enhancements in lubricity, with a 27% increase, and filtering performance, with a 48% increase. The rheological profile, which exhibited shearthinning behavior, demonstrated strong agreement with the Herschel−Bulkley model. Furthermore, the NPs showed the capability of reducing the negative effects of heat-induced deterioration on the characteristics of mud. This highlights their potential as advantageous substances for drilling operations conducted at high temperatures. The results emphasize the advancement of drilling fluid technologies that are both environmentally benign and economically feasible by utilizing the advantages of biogenic CuO NPs. This study aims to enhance green chemistry methodologies in the oil and gas sector by tackling issues related to both performance and sustainability.

“…The more stable profiles of plastic viscosity and yield point over the observed temperature range is attributed from the improved thermal stability of the mud samples with the addition of alumina nanoparticle. As a ceramic material, alumina is known to have a good heat resistance making it suitable to be used as an additive to maintain stable rheological properties, especially for application in extreme temperature conditions (Ivanov et al, 1999;Medhi et al, 2019). Results on gel strengths also exhibited significant increases with the increasing concentration of alumina nanoparticles, as shown in Figure 9c and d.…”

“…Nanotechnology has played an important role in the evolution of modern technologies including the oil and gas industry. The upstream hydrocarbon industry has seen significant research and application of nanotechnology pertaining to areas of EOR, drilling fluids, oil–water separation, coatings, and flow assurance. − In EOR, the synergetic use of nanoparticles (NPs) and surfactants can improve the process of oil recovery by many folds. Some of the studies have functionalized surfactant parts with the nanoparticle to enhance diffusion into an oil–water interface, alter wettability, or reduce IFT.…”

With a constant upsurge in energy demand, production from depleted and harsh reservoirs through enhanced oil recovery techniques (EOR) has significantly increased. Among many EOR techniques, chemical EOR (cEOR) is one of the most widely used methods of oil extraction. Surfactants used in cEOR are instrumental in reducing interfacial tension (IFT) and altering the wettability of rock, which leads to additional oil recovery. This review draws attention to detail on surfactants from fundamentals to field scale. Properties of surfactants like phase behaviors, critical micelle concentration (CMC), hydrophilic–lipophilic balance and deviation, zeta potential, and their importance are discussed in depth. The presence of a saline environment, polymer, cosurfactant, and other factors affecting the performance of surfactant during the cEOR process are also elaborated. Key findings on surfactant adsorption on reservoir rock with other influencing aspects have also been reported in this study. Types of surfactants, from basic to the likes of polymeric, viscoelastic, Gemini, natural, and their effects on oil recoveries have been analyzed and compared. Special emphasis on emerging aids for surfactant flooding such as applications of nanotechnology, use amphoteric Janus particles, and synergies of surfactant–low salinity water flooding, along with their mechanisms and recent advances have been thoroughly duscussed. Lastly, the review delineates discerning criteria for the selection of surfactants, reviews recent field applications, and outlines the challenges that the industry faces while implementing surfactant cEOR. It has been found that exhaustive studies have been conducted on sandstones with success. However, extreme temperature and saline conditions in the case of carbonate reservoirs limit the applicability of surfactants, and the pursuit to accomplish its efficacy continues.
