Companies in the Middle East are looking at nanotechnology as a solution to achieve maximum oil recovery.
8The implications of applying nanotechnology to enhance oil and gas recovery are very exciting.
8Nanotechnology may help achieve things that once seemed impossible.
8The right design of nano particles can stabilize foams and emulsions in the reservoir to improve sweep efficiency and recover oil from otherwise bypassed zones.
8Foam flooding as a mechanism to EOR has been intensively studied and is the subject of multiple research groups.
8However, limited stability of surfactant-generated foam in the presence of oil and the low chemical stability of surfactants in the high-temperature and high-salinity conditions of an oil reservoir are among the reasons for foam EOR not being widely applied in the field.
8Shell's studies have suggested that synthesized nano particles with altered surface properties can aid foam generation and increase foam stability in porous media.
8Shell have focused on a silica-based nano particle that is available in large quantities and can be processed economically without separate surface treatment.
8This gives it the potential to become a practical solution in the field.
