About this document
Nanosurfactant EOR Study in Fractured Model by Cesar Posada is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes an experimental study on using a nanosurfactant containing ZrO2 nanoparticles and surfactants for enhanced oil recovery of heavy oil from a fractured reservoir model. Experiments showed that adding nanoparticles to surfactant solutions reduced interfacial tension more than surfactants alone. The nanosurfactant also altered wettability more toward water-wetness. Flooding tests found that a cationic surfactant with nanoparticles recovered more oil ultimately than an anionic surfactant
