A Review on Nanomaterial Revolution in Oil and Gas Industry for EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) Methods - Crimson Publishers

 A Review on Nanomaterial Revolution in Oil and Gas Industry for EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) Methods by Veluru Jagadeesh Babu* in Crimson Publishers: Peer Reviewed Material Science Journals


Nanomaterials have explored everywhere in the day-to-day technologies, for instance nano circuits in electronics, bio-implants in medicine, aeroplane spare parts, photography and most recently in additive manufacturing (3D Printing). Nanomaterials have also introduced into oil and gas industry and evidenced in many aspects of exploration, drilling, production, refining and distribution. Variety of material hierarchies like nanofluids, nanocatalysts, nanoemulsions and nanocoatings in the upstream, midstream and downstream have explored. It is worth noting that the nanoparticles can reduce the viscosity of oil, increase the mobility ratio, and alter the reservoir permeability. Depending on the operational conditions of EOR methods, some nanoparticles perform more effective than other methods and lead to differ in EOR. However, tertiary fluids used for recovery or EOR process interact with the reservoir rock/ oil system where we EOR techniques are receiving substantial attention. Current studies on nanomaterials are seen as potential solutions to most of the challenges associated with the traditional EOR techniques. In this review, a brief discussion on the most recent developments of EOR mechanisms by using nanoparticles, nanofluids, nanoemulsions, nanocatalysts and nanocoatings. This review discussion also extended to discuss about existing challenges and opportunities for the future applications of nanostructures in EOR methods.

Research & Development in Material Science provides an international media for the publication of experimental and theoretical studies related to the load-bearing capacity of materials as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment. RDMS is a relatively new scientific field which involves studying materials through the materials paradigm (synthesis, structure, properties and performance). It incorporates elements of physics and chemistry and is at the forefront of nanoscience and nanotechnology research. RDMS focuses on scientific and/or engineering factors affecting the relationships of materials, particularly appropriate for research and development in material science. RDMS is primarily interested in those contributions which bring new insights. Papers will be selected on the basis of the importance of the new knowledge they provide. The main theme of this journal is to spread the advanced research technologies in Mat...
