“…Hence, the suspended particles in a liquid will eventually undergo polarization, which can result in improving the trapped oil by improving the mobility ratio of the fluids due to the electrorheological effect that leads to the incremental stage of the viscosity of the nanofluids [49]. Various dielectric nanofluids activated by EM wave irradiation have been studied in the last decade and showed promising results for enhanced oil recovery [49,54,60,97,98].…”

“…Recently, Ali A.M. et al (2020) [98] investigated the adsorption behavior of the Ferronanofluids of Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 3 O 4 on oil recovery. Studying the role of the adsorption capacity of the nanoparticles is significant because the transport mobility of the nanofluids in a reservoir is largely attributed to the adsorption of the particles on the surface of the rock.…”

Crude oil has been one of the most important natural resources since 1856, which was the first time a world refinery was constructed. However, the problem associated with trapped oil in the reservoir is a global concern. Consequently, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is a modern technique used to improve oil productivity that is being intensively studied. Nanoparticles (NPs) exhibited exceptional outcomes when applied in various sectors including oil and gas industries. The harshness of the reservoir situations disturbs the effective transformations of the NPs in which the particles tend to agglomerate and consequently leads to the discrimination of the NPs and their being trapped in the rock pores of the reservoir. Hence, Electromagnetic-Assisted nanofluids are very consequential in supporting the effective performance of the nanoflooding process. Several studies have shown considerable incremental oil recovery factors by employing magnetic and dielectric NPs assisted by electromagnetic radiation. This is attributed to the fact that the injected nanofluids absorb energy disaffected from the EM source, which changes the fluid mobility by creating disruptions within the fluid’s interface and allowing trapped oil to be released. This paper attempts to review the experimental work conducted via electromagnetic activation of magnetic and dielectric nanofluids for EOR and to analyze the effect of EM-assisted nanofluids on parameters such as sweeping efficiency, Interfacial tension, and wettability alteration. The current study is very significant in providing a comprehensive analysis and review of the role played by EM-assisted nanofluids to improve laboratory experiments as one of the substantial prerequisites in optimizing the process of the field application for EOR in the future.

“…Mirchi et al (2017) measured the equilibrium IFT and found the surfactant solution playing an important role in local trapping of oil phase during spontaneous imbibition. Ali et al (2020) proved ferro-nanoparticles accounted for the effectiveness in reducing interfacial tension because of higher silicate sorption capacity.…”

The ultra-low permeability reservoir is regarded as an important energy source for oil and gas resource development and is attracting more and more attention. In this work, the active silica nanofluids were prepared by modified active silica nanoparticles and surfactant BSSB-12. The dispersion stability tests showed that the hydraulic radius of nanofluids was 58.59 nm and the zeta potential was − 48.39 mV. The active nanofluids can simultaneously regulate liquid–liquid interface and solid–liquid interface. The nanofluids can reduce the oil/water interfacial tension (IFT) from 23.5 to 6.7 mN/m, and the oil/water/solid contact angle was altered from 42° to 145°. The spontaneous imbibition tests showed that the oil recovery of 0.1 wt% active nanofluids was 20.5% and 8.5% higher than that of 3 wt% NaCl solution and 0.1 wt% BSSB-12 solution. Finally, the effects of nanofluids on dynamic contact angle, dynamic interfacial tension and moduli were studied from the adsorption behavior of nanofluids at solid–liquid and liquid–liquid interface. The oil detaching and transporting are completed by synergistic effect of wettability alteration and interfacial tension reduction. The findings of this study can help in better understanding of active nanofluids for EOR in ultra-low permeability reservoirs.

“…Therefore, magnetic nanoparticles are easily separated from the dispersion liquid by an external magnetic field and, thus, can be reused [ 37 , 38 ]. At present, research on nanomagnetic fluids in oil and gas production mainly focuses on reservoir fracture identification [ 39 ], oil-water front monitoring [ 40 ], and oil recovery improvement [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ], while some scholars have carried out preliminary investigations of drag reduction by nanomagnetic fluids. Sun et al [ 45 ] designed a magnetic viscous fluid drag reduction device with a closed loop by placing a permanent magnet outside the tube wall.…”

This paper examines a new study on the synergistic effect of magnetic nanoparticles and wormlike micelles (WLMs) on drag reduction. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (FE-NPs) are utilized to improve the performance of viscoelastic surfactant (VES) solutions used as fracturing fluids. The chemical composition and micromorphology of the FE-NPs were analyzed with FT-IR and an electron microscope. The stability and interaction of the WLM-particle system were studied by zeta potential and cryo-TEM measurements. More importantly, the influences of the temperature, FE-NP concentration, magnetic field intensity, and direction on the drag reduction rate of WLMs were systematically investigated in a circuit pipe flow system with an electromagnetic unit. The experimental results show that a suitable content of magnetic nanoparticles can enhance the settlement stability and temperature resistance of WLMs. A magnetic field along the flow direction of the fracturing fluid can improve the drag reduction performance of the magnetic WLM system. However, under a magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of fluid flow, an additional flow resistance is generated by the vertical chaining behavior of FE-NPs, which is unfavorable for the drag reduction performance of magnetic VES fracturing fluids. This study may shed light on the mechanism of the synergistic drag reduction effects of magnetic nanoparticles and wormlike micelles.
