“…The difference of electrostatic potential energy between a bulk solution and dispersed particles is defined as zeta potential (Veyskarami and Ghazanfari 2018); the value can be measured by either an electrophoresis-based Table 1 Some usual elements in sand production (Schön 2015;Tiab and Donaldson 2015;Failed 2006a;Pettijohn et al 1974 measurement tool such as Zeta Malvern instrument (Zetasizer Nano ZS90/ ZEN 3600) (Bazyari et al 2018), or a streaming potential set-up (Dehghan . It could be utilized to specify the repulsion force between nearby and similarly charged particles in a dispersion of colloids (Liu et al 2016;Dehghan Monfared et al 2015).…”

Sand or fine is a typical product in many processing of oil production from unconsolidated and weakly consolidated formations. High variation of in situ stress, fluid production rate above maximum sand-free rate, and water production are main primary sources of the sand production. Sand production can cause hazardous operational problems to the facilities, pipes, and wellbore. Hence, it is a significant problem that requires to be managed and studied. To minimize the operational impacts of particle migration, chemical consolidators/stabilizers can be utilized to alter surface properties of sand and formation particles. The decreasing zeta potential besides increasing the cohesion between sand and formation particles could result in controlled sand production. However, understanding the mechanism and application of chemical methods to alleviate sand production is not well-discussed. This study presents and discusses chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents, which may be applied for managing sand production in the petroleum industry. This was achieved through a comprehension review of the literature and the application of chemical consolidators/stabilizers in other fields such as bauxite residue (red mud and red sand) control, desert sand, mine reclamation, wind erosion control, unpaved road modification, and enhancement of water retention and soil infiltration properties that are similar to formation sand. Standard experimental methods in various fields, for performance analysis of chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents, are compared and summarized. The consolidation/stabilization mechanisms of various types of chemical consolidator/stabilizer agents are discussed and compared. This review potentially can be used to inhibit blind usage of chemicals and functions as a reference to additional research in sand production control in petroleum engineering. The results are appropriate for extending quantitative approaches for performance evaluation of sand consolidator/stabilizer agents.

“…Even though nanofluids have shown a great potential on the EOR process, the nano-suspension prepared by pure nanoparticles cannot obtain effective production. With considerable investigations on using nanofluids in reservoir engineering and EOR techniques, applying surfactant/nanoparticle system as a new agent in oil displacement has drawn considerable attention. − Kuang et al prepared nanofluids by dispersing three extensively used nanoparticles (i.e., SiO x , Al 2 O 3 , and TiO 2 ) and five chemical agents (i.e., oleic acid, poly(acrylic acid) , a cationic, an anionic, and a nonionic surfactant) in a base brine solution as EOR agents and additives to hydrophobic fracturing fluids. Zargartalebi et al utilized hydrophilic and hydrophobic SiO 2 nanoparticles to alter anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) properties and enhance flooding performance.…”

Low-permeability reservoirs are characterized by small pore size and a complex strata structure that present challenges and opportunities in recovering petroleum. In this study, a new nanofluid composed of biosurfactant and silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles, hereby called bionanofluid, was proposed as potentially enhanced oil recovery agent to investigate the synergy of biosurfactant and nanoparticles on oil displacement from low-permeability reservoirs. Turbiscan Lab was used in stabilization analysis, wherein the concentration of biosurfactant and SiO2 nanoparticles must be below the critical micelle concentration and 1000 mg/L, respectively, thereby maintaining the ideal state of the nano-system. Numerous tests, including spontaneous imbibition, interfacial tension, micromodel test, and coreflooding experiment were performed to evaluate oil displacement efficiency of the bionanofluid. Sandstone pore plugs with different permeability values were utilized during the study to ensure the represent ativeness for the experiment. The results of spontaneous imbibition revealed the potential of nano-flooding, depending on the composition of bionanofluid. The experimental results showed the bionanofluid prepared by nanoparticle and biosurfcant can alter the interface property of oil and water better. The core flooding investigated that nanofluid composition, exposure time, and injection scheme significantly affect the oil recovery efficiency. In addition, the optimum various scenarios of bionanofluid flooding were selected on the basis of the permeability of the core plug. The mechanisms of nano-flooding for several typical residual oils were expressed based on the micromodel test. This study shows that using a biosurfactant stabilizes the nanoparticle suspension and reduces the interfacial tension of oil and water, which has a synergy with nanoparticles on oil displacement.
