The Effect of Shear on the Properties of an Associated Polymer Solution for Oil Displacement

Guoying Jiao et al.

Summary: Polymer flooding, a technique used to recover oil from depleted reservoirs, is hindered by poor performance caused by shearing during injection. An experimental evaluation studied the influence of shearing on rheological properties, viscoelasticity, hydrodynamic size, static adsorption, and seepage characteristics of the polymer solution. Results showed that shear had an irreversible effect on the polymer, damaging its properties. However, hydrophobic association allowed the polymer to recover its solution properties after a critical associating concentration, improving shear resistance and achieving effective flow resistance during porous media seepage and mobility control. Augmenting intermolecular forces to enhance shear resistance is proposed to develop new polymer systems for oil displacement.

Effect of the SiO2 Nanoparticle Size on Application of Enhanced Oil Recovery in Medium-Permeability Formations

Yanxia Zhou et al.

Summary: Nanoparticles have been successfully used in enhancing oil recovery (EOR) due to their small size and abundant surface functional groups. In this research, SiO2 nanoparticles of different sizes were synthesized and their properties in terms of interfacial tension, contact angle, viscosity, capillary pressure, and oil extraction ability were investigated.

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of the Sizes and Concentrations of SiO2 Nanoparticles on Wettability Alteration and Oil Recovery

Kazunori Abe et al.

Summary: The use of silica nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery is gaining attention, and the disjoining pressure has been identified as a promising mechanism for removing residual oil. Previous studies have shown that decreasing particle size and increasing nanoparticle concentration improves disjoining pressure. However, these studies were not conducted in a reservoir environment. This study investigates the effects of nanoparticle size and concentration on oil recovery under reservoir conditions, and the results show that smaller particle sizes lead to higher wettability alteration and oil recovery.

Summary: The use of nanofluids as an enhanced oil recovery method is showing promise. This new study aims to collect information about the most promising nano-EOR methods according to their performance in core-flooding tests and provides useful information for researchers interested in experimental application of nano-EOR methods.
