TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the recent advances and prospects of the application of polymeric nanofluids in crucial aspects of EOR such as stability and adsorption, wettability alteration, interfacial tension reduction and emulsion stability, and rheology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential application of metal oxide polymeric nanofluid for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) was explored and evaluated using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, a water-based mud with nanosilica was formulated to enhance cuttings and solid particles transports from the wellbore to the surface, and the results showed that the addition of the nano-silica concentrations to the WBM enhanced the viscosity, thereby increasing the muds carrying and circulating capacity.

TL;DR: In this paper, plant and fruits extracts were used for the first time to synthesize crystalline starch nanoparticles (CSNP) and the physical properties of the CSNP including their size distribution, crystalline structures were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of Al2O3 nanoparticles on the rheological properties of HPAM in the presence of different electrolyte concentrations representative of field brine and temperature conditions was investigated, and interfacial tension (IFT) behavior of the polymeric nanofluid at the oil/water interface was studied using Kruss tensiometer while wettability studies was carried out using goniometer.
