Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Nanoparticles, Polymers, and Surfactants: Fundamentals, Mechanisms, and Field Applications

This comprehensive book examines advanced Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methodologies utilizing nanoparticles, polymers, and surfactants as extraction efficiency becomes increasingly critical in depleting oil reserves.The text provides a systematic analysis of how these chemical agents function to reduce interfacial tension, modify wettability parameters, and enhance oil displacement mechanisms in challenging reservoir environments.The authors present an integrated framework connecting theoretical principles with laboratory investigations and field implementations, addressing both the technical challenges and economic considerations of modern EOR applications. • Offers an analytical examination of nanoparticle-polymer-surfactant synergistic effects in maximizing recovery efficiency in mature and low-permeability formations. • Features documented case studies demonstrating quantifiable outcomes in diverse reservoir conditions. • Provides a systematic analysis of wettability alteration mec
