Abstract:Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) injection is the most promising technique to enhance the recovery of high gravity oil with the existing oil price situation. Even though, challenges still exist for thick and heterogeneous reservoirs at very high temperature. The problems faced in such reservoirs are low displacement efficiency and very high injection pressure requirement for a miscible displacement. The effort being done by researchers to overcome the situations is the use of silica nanoparticle as an agent to form CO 2… Show more
