Abstract
Wormlike micelles are conventional aggregates that exist in viscoelastic solutions. However, to achieve a solution with prominent viscoelasticity, rather high concentrations of surfactants are usually required due to the flexibility of aggregates in solution. If thread-like aggregates with rigidity can be formed by surfactants, the solutions are expected to show strong viscoelasticity at very low surfactant concentrations. Herein, A novel rosin-based quaternary ammonium surfactant with two head groups (abbreviated as R-11-3-DA) was synthesized. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM) images showed that flexible nanofibers with diameters of about 7-8 nm and lengths of over 1 μm were formed in the 1 : 1.5 R-11-3-DA : SL solutions. The rigidity of the aggregates seems to be inherited from the rigidity of the surfactant molecules. The novel aggregates endow the solutions with remarkable viscoelasticity at very low concentrations, with a critical overlap concentration of 0.01 wt% and a critical gelling concentration of 0.58 wt%. The rheological behavior of the solutions also shows excellent shear resistance and weak sensitivity to temperature below the critical gelation temperature (Tgel). This work reveals the advantages of viscoelastic solutions containing flexible nanofibers. The design principles of new molecular structures and system compositions can be applied to the preparation of smart soft materials based on the self-assembly of molecules.

Abstract
There are economic and technical challenges to overcome when increasing resource recovery from low permeability reservoirs. For such reservoirs, the hydraulic fracturing plan with the development of clean and less expensive fracturing fluid plays a vital aspect in meeting the energy supply chain. Numerous recent published studies have indicated that research on worm-like micelles (WLMs) based on viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fluid has progressed substantially. This study looks at the development of CO2-sensitive viscoelastic fracturing fluid (CO2-SVFF), its applications, benefits, limitations, and drawbacks of conventional fracturing fluids. The switchable viscoelasticity of CO2-SVFF system signifies how reusing of this fluid is attained. Compared to conventional surfactants, the CO2-SVFF system can be switched to high viscosity (to fracture formation and transporting proppants) and low viscosity (easy removal after causing fracture). The effect of pH, conductivity, temperature, and rheological behaviors of CO2-SVFFs are also highlighted. Further, the aid of Gemini surfactants and nanoparticles (NPs) with low concentrations in CO2-SVFF can improve viscoelasticity and extended stability to withstand high shear rates and temperatures during the fracturing process. These studies provide insight into future knowledge that might lead to a more environmentally friendly and successful CO2-SVFFs in low-permeability reservoirs. Despite the increased application of CO2-SVFFs, there are still several challenges (i.e., formation with high-temperature range, pressure, and salinity).

Abstract
Improved oil recovery (IOR) includes enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and other technologies (i.e. fracturing, water injection optimization, etc.), have become important methods to increase the oil/gas production in petroleum industry. However, conventional flooding systems always encounter the problems of low efficiency, high cost and complicated synthetic procedures for harsh reservoirs conditions. In recent decades, the supramolecular interactions are introduced into IOR processes to simplify the synthetic procedures, alter their structures and properties with bespoke functionalities and responsiveness suitable for different conditions. Herein, we primarily review the fundamentals of several supramolecular interactions, including hydrophobic association, hydrogen bond, electrostatic interaction, host-guest recognition, metal-ligand coordination and dynamic covalent bond from intrinsic principles and extrinsic functions. Then, the descriptions of supramolecular interactions in IOR processes from categories and advances are focused on the following variables: polymer, surfactant, surfactant/polymer (SP) complex for EOR and viscoelasticity surfactant (VES) for clean hydraulic fracturing aspects. Finally, the field applications, challenges and prospects for supramolecular interactions in IOR processes are involved and systematically addressed. The development of supramolecular interactions can open the way toward adaptive and evolutive IOR technology, a further step towards the cost-effective production of petroleum industry.

Abstract
Fe3O4@ZnO nanocomposites (NCs) were synthesized to improve the stability of the wormlike micelle (WLM) network structure of viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fracturing fluid and were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Then, an NC-enhanced viscoelastic surfactant solution as a fracturing fluid (NC-VES) was prepared, and its properties, including settlement stability, interactions between NCs and WLMs, proppant-transporting performance and gel-breaking properties, were systematically studied. More importantly, the influences of the NC concentration, shear rate, temperature and pH level on the stability of NC-VES were systematically investigated. The experimental results show that the NC-VES with a suitable content of NCs (0.1 wt.%) shows superior stability at 95 °C or at a high shear rate. Meanwhile, the NC-VES has an acceptable wide pH stability range of 6-9. In addition, the NC-VES possesses good sand-carrying performance and gel-breaking properties, while the NCs can be easily separated and recycled by applying a magnetic field. The temperature-resistant, stable and environmentally friendly fracturing fluid opens an opportunity for the future hydraulic fracturing of unconventional reservoirs.

Abstract
Viscosity modifying agents are one of the most critical components of hydraulic fracturing fluids, ensuring the efficient transport and deposition of proppant into fissures. To improve the productivity index of hydraulic fracturing processes, better viscosifiers with a higher proppant carrying capacity and a lower potential of formation damage are needed. In this work, we report the development of a novel viscoelastic system relying on the complexation of zwitterionic octadecylamidopropyl betaine (OAPB) and diethylenetriamine (DTA) in water. At a concentration of 2 wt%, the zwitterionic complex fluid had a static viscosity of 9 to 200 poise, which could be reversibly adjusted by changing the suspension pH. The degree of pH-responsiveness ranged from 10 to 27 depending on the shear rate. At a given concentration and optimum pH value, the zwitterionic viscosifiers showed a two-orders-of-magnitude reduction in settling velocity of proppant compared to polyacrylamide solution (slickwater). By adjusting the pH between 4 and 8, the networked structure of the gel could be fully assembled and disassembled. The lack of macromolecular residues at the dissembled state can be beneficial for hydraulic fracturing application in avoiding the permeation damage issues encountered in polymer and linear-gel-based fracturing fluids. The reusability and the unnecessary permanent breakers are other important characteristics of these zwitterionic viscosifiers. Viscosity modifying agents are one of the most critical components of hydraulic fracturing fluids, ensuring the efficient transport and deposition of proppant into fissures.![]()
