High-Temperature Core Flood Investigation of Nanocellulose as a Green Additive for Enhanced Oil Recovery

High-Temperature Core Flood Investigation of Nanocellulose as a Green Additive for Enhanced Oil Recovery

Recent studies have discovered a substantial viscosity increase of aqueous cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) dispersions upon heat aging at temperatures above 90 °C. This distinct change in material properties at very low concentrations in water has been proposed as an active mechanism for enhanc...
