Development and Potential Application of Advanced Functional Materials in the Oil Field

Abstract:

The oil and gas industry places higher demands for new technologies and new materials. Advanced functional materials show broad application prospects in the oil field. Technological advances in the oil and gas sector are inseparable from the development and application of advanced functional materials. Through literature research, patent search analysis, expert consultation, some advanced functional materials with potential application in the oil field are sorted out, in order to provide inspiration and new ideas for improving the development of the oil and gas drilling technology. The nanomaterials dispersion and nanocomposites films are two of the most accessible ways to apply nanomaterials in the oil field. The cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and the diamond-like carbon (DLC) nanocomposites films would provide inspiration for the oil field chemistry and protection of downhole tools. The application of CNF and DLC nanocomposites could provide innovative ideas, research and foundation for the future development of the oil and gas drilling technology, and contribute to achieving a major technological breakthrough and improve the overall level of the oil and gas drilling technology.
