Development of Nanofluids for Perdurability in Viscosity Reduction of Extra-Heavy Oils

The primary objective of this study is the development of nanofluids based on different diluent/dispersant ratios (DDR) for extra-heavy oil (EHO) viscosity reduction and its perdurability over time. Different diluents such as xylene, diesel, <i>n</i>-pentane, and <i>n</i>-hep...
