The Prospect of Application of Nanometer Material in Oil Exploitation

Abstract:

Emerging of nanotechnology represents development and achievements of modern materials science. Petroleum industry nowadays plays a leading role in development of energy industry. Therefore, the combination of the two is a valuable research subject. The prospect of application of nanometer material in injection-production, tertiary oil production, well sensing and imaging system and coating technology is presented herein. In addition, issues with respect to application of nanometer material in oil exploitation are discussed. Nanometer material and nanotechnology is the frontier technology in science and technology development in the past decades. It is predicated that today's ordinary original material be replaced by nanometer material and nanotechnology be a "key technology"[1] that will surpass internet and genetic technology.
