Evaluation of Hybrid Nanofluid for Application in Enhanced Oil Recovery
Source abstract
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.
