TL;DR: In this article, the performance of silicon dioxide (SiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), copper oxide (CuO), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) of different sizes in the presence of fixed concentration of anionic surfactant (AOS) on foam stability was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the current trend of incorporating nanoparticles into polymers to improve polymer flooding process by explaining the mechanism involved, opportunities offered and challenges encountered, and technical solutions to overcome the challenges identified are also discussed.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of silica nanoparticles on the bulk stability of SDS-foam in the presence of oil was investigated using KRUSS dynamic foam analyzer, and the foam static stability was evaluated from half-decay time, liquid drainage, bubble size distribution, and change in total height and volume of the generated foams with respect to time.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of emulsified water on the wax appearance temperatures of water-in-waxy-crude-oil emulsions was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry.
