A water soluble nano-composite was synthesised using radical polymerization method where polymeric chain was grafted on silica nanoparticle surface Chemical structure of polyacrylamide grafted silica particle (PAAGS) was characterised using FTIR, EDX and SEM images Nano-composite application for high-temperature reservoir was investigated by characterising surface activity and measuring rheological properties The transport properties were simulated using STARS simulator CMG to check its suitability for polymer flooding operations The result indicates that a modest viscosity for synthesised nano-composite solution and viscosity retention was improved even at higher temperature Improved performance of PAAGS can be attributed to the formation of complex macromolecular structure The surface properties of silica nanoparticle were improved due to presence of polymer chains at the surface which helped in reduction of interfacial tension and changing the wettability of rock surfaces The simulation studies showed that nano-composite was able to mobilise the residual oil left in the sand pack after secondary recoveryread more

Mechanistic study of wettability alteration using surfactants with applications in naturally fractured reservoirs.
TL;DR: It is proposed that wettability alteration processes might be improved through the use of dimeric surfactants, which have two charged head groups and two hydrophobic tails, which should be more effective in the case of surfactant monolayer adsorption.
