Book excerpt: Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) continues to provide a critical operation to improving oil and gas operations, but engineers and researchers must apply stronger environmental standards on upcoming technology. Emerging Nanotechnologies and Solutions in Enhanced Oil Recovery, the fourth installment in the Enhanced Oil Recovery series, supplies today's engineer and researcher with the latest methods and processes to learn and apply while lowering environmental impact. Supported by a diverse cast of global contributors, the reference dives into the role nanotechnology is playing in enhanced oil recovery, including nano-assisted chemical, thermal, water and gas-based methods, smart chemicals in nanoencapsulation, and nanoparticle-stabilized foam for mobility control. Other advances are discussed such as ionic liquids application, microbial biotechnology, and electrical EOR techniques. Case studies, visuals, and mathematical modeling at pore-scale, core-scale, and field-scale evaluation are all covered. Rounding out with chapters addressing water, air, and soil pollution challenges as well as CO2 storage in EOR activity, Emerging Nanotechnologies and Solutions in Enhanced Oil Recovery, delivers the knowledge engineers need today to improve on critical assets while keeping a sustainability mindset.
