“…Recently, it was shown that the inclusion of nanoparticles into surfactant solutions affected their properties (Cheraghian and Hendraningrat, ; Khalafi et al, ; Ogolo et al, ), including viscosity (Rudyak and Krasnolutskii, ), wettability alteration effectiveness (Jha et al, , b; Nwidee et al, ), and interfacial and surface tension reduction (Dong and Johnson, ; Zargartalebi et al, ). Due to this, nanoparticles–surfactant solutions (surfactant nanofluids) have been regarded as potential formulations for improving the surfactant flooding EOR (Jha et al, , b; Joonaki and Ghanaatian, ).…”
