Evaluating the potential of surface-modified silica nanoparticles using internal olefin sulfonate for enhanced oil recovery

Abstract Recently, nanoparticles have proven to enhance oil recovery on the core-flood scale in challenging high-pressure high-temperature reservoirs. Nanomaterials generally appear to improve oil production through wettability alteration and reduction in interfacial tension between oil and water ph...
