Enhancing oil recovery with hydrophilic polymer-coated silica nanoparticles.
Bila, Alberto Luis; Torsæter, Ole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Nanoparticles (NPs) have been proposed for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The research has demonstrated marvelous effort to realize the mechanisms of nanoparticles EOR. Nevertheless, gaps still exist in terms of understanding ... -
Experimental Investigation of Polymer-Coated Silica Nanoparticles for Enhanced Oil Recovery.
Bila, Alberto Luis; Stensen, Jan Åge; Torsæter, Ole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Recently, polymer-coated nanoparticles were proposed for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) due to their improved properties such as solubility, stability, stabilization of emulsions and low particle retention on the rock surface. ... -
Experimental investigation of polymer-coated silica nanoparticles for EOR under harsh reservoir conditions of high temperature and salinity.
Bila, Alberto Luis; Torsæter, Ole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Laboratory experiments have shown higher oil recovery with nanoparticle (NPs) flooding. Accordingly, many studies have investigated the nanoparticle-aided sweep efficiency of the injection fluid. The change in wettability ... -
Experimental investigation of surface-functionalised silica nanoparticles for enhanced oil recovery
Bila, Alberto Luis (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:66, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using nanoparticles (NPs) has been proposed as a solution in the petroleum industry to overcome declining production rates. Research has shown that commercially available hydrophilic silica NPs, ... -
