About this document

Nanoparticles Enhance Heavy Oil Mobility by Adela Carbajal is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated the effect of nanoparticles and nanofluids on the rheology and mobility of heavy crude oil under reservoir conditions. Specifically: 1. Nanoparticles of alumina, silica, and acidic silica were tested for their ability to reduce the viscosity of heavy crude oil through asphaltene adsorption and aggregation. 2. A nanofluid containing acidic silica nanoparticles in water, with and without surfactant, was prepared and its effect on heavy oil rheology and viscos
