Spherical nanoparticles have been widely studied for enhanced oil recovery, but there is a lack of research on nanosheets. In this study, amphiphilic molybdenum disulfide nanosheets were synthesized and shown to have significant effects on solid surface wettability and emulsion stability at ultra-low concentrations.
Recently, spherical nanoparticles have been studied to enhance oil recovery (EOR) worldwide owing to their remarkable properties. However, there is a lack of studies of nanosheets on EOR. Here, the amphiphilic molybdenum disulfide nanosheets were synthesized through a straightforward hydrothermal method. The octadecyl amine (ODA) molecules were grafted onto the surfaces of molybdenum disulfide nanosheets due to the presence of defects on the MoS2 nanosheets surfaces. The synthesized amphiphilic molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (ODA-MoS2 nanosheets) are approximate 67 nm in width. The effects of ultralow concentration ODA-MoS2 nanosheets on the dynamic wettability change of solid surfaces and emulsion stability were also studied and discussed. Besides, the laboratory displacement experiments were also carried out to reveal the adsorption rules and the oil displacement effects by using ultralow concentration ODA-MoS2 nanosheets. Experimental results indicate that the oil-wet solid surface (a contact angle of 130 degrees) can transform into the neutral-wet solid surface (a contact angle of 90 degrees) within 120 h after 50 mg/L ODA-MoS2 nanosheets treatment. In addition, micro-scale emulsions in size of 2 mu m can be formed after the addition of ODA-MoS2 nanosheets by adsorbing onto the oil-water interfaces. The desorption energy of a single ODA-MoS2 nanosheet from the oil-water interface to the bulk phase is proposed. When the concentration of ODA-MoS2 nanosheets is 50 mg/L, the emulsions are the most stable. Core flooding results demonstrate that the ultimate residue of ODA-MoS2 nanosheets in porous media is less than 11%, and the highest increased oil recovery of around 16.26% (OOIP) is achieved. Finally, the production performance of ultralow concentration of ODA-MoS2 nanofluid (50 mg/L) in the application of Daqing Oilfield is summarized and discussed.
