Pore-Scale Monitoring of Wettability Alteration by Silica Nanoparticles During Polymer Flooding to Heavy Oil in a Five-Spot Glass Micromodel (2011, background): “Many papers have been published about wettability in porous media (Zhao et al. 2010; Van Dijke and Sorbie 2003; Dixit et al. 2000), but there are few papers in literature about the effect of nanoparticles on enhancing oil recovery (Ju et al. 2006).”
Effect of temperature and SiO2 nanoparticle size on wettability alteration of oil-wet calcite (2017, background): “Oil production from fractured oil-wet carbonate formations, can be significantly increased by shifting the rock surface wettability from oil-wet to water-wet [34, 38, 49].”
Application of nanotechnology for enhancing oil recovery – A review (2016, background): “In this study, Ju et al. [39] claimed that injection of mixtures of 2.0-3-0% by volume of 10e500 nm LHP nanoparticles in distilled water during core flood experiments could improve the oil recovery.”
Metal oxide-based nanoparticles: revealing their potential to enhance oil recovery in different wettability systems (2015, background): “…alteration Introduction In recent years, most investigations have shown that nanoparticles (NPs) offer promise for future enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes in which silica-based NPs are most commonly used (Ju et al. 2006; Miranda et al. 2012; Roustaei et al. 2012; Hendraningrat et al. 2013a).”
