Evaluation of Hybrid Nanofluid for Application in Enhanced Oil Recovery

Abstract:

The increase in the global energy demand necessitates advanced and innovative techniques to meet up with the energy raising needs. The use of nanofluids offers a promising approach to increase oil production in chemical-enhanced oil recovery, especially for matured reservoirs. In this work, Zinc Oxide (ZnO)/Copper Oxide (CuO) nanocomposite was synthesized and evaluated for its suitability for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Various characterization techniques were carried out including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersion X-Ray (EDX) Spectrophotometry, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to investigate the nanocomposite formed. However, a hybrid nanofluid, and a stability study was conducted for potential application in EOR. The material characterization and stability results revealed that ZnO/CuO hybrid nanofluid is promising and shows good potential when utilized in EOR applications.
