Generation, stability, and transport of nanoparticle-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions in porous media

The ability of nanoparticles to stabilize oil/water emulsions provides many interesting opportunities for the petroleum industry. Emulsions can be used as a displacing fluid for enhanced oil recovery to improve sweep efficiencies. Emulsions can be used to improve conformance control by effectively...
