Nano-fluid viscosity screening and study of in situ foam pressure buildup at high-temperature high-pressure conditions

Abstract In this study, an industrial-based surfactant known as MFomax surfactant has been modified with unfunctionalized and silane-functionalized silica nanoparticles (NPs) to select the high viscous nano-fluid (NF) for generation of in situ foam to assess the differential pressure buildup (∆p) be...
