Abstract
Oil and gas are only two industries that could change because of nanotechnology, a rapidly growing field. The chemical-enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) method uses chemicals to accelerate oil flow from reservoirs. New and enhanced CEOR compounds that are more efficient and eco-friendly can be created using nanotechnology. One of the main research areas is creating novel nanomaterials that can transfer EOR chemicals to the reservoir more effectively. It was creating nanoparticles that can be used to change the viscosity and surface tension of reservoir fluids and constructing nanoparticles that can be utilized to improve the efficiency of the EOR compounds that are already in use. The assessment also identifies some difficulties that must be overcome before nanotechnology-based EOR can become widely used in industry. These difficulties include the requirement for creating mass-producible, cost-effective nanomaterials. There is a need to create strategies for supplying nanomaterials to the reservoir without endangering the formation of the reservoir. The requirement is to evaluate the environmental effects of CEOR compounds based on nanotechnology. The advantages of nanotechnology-based EOR are substantial despite the difficulties. Nanotechnology could make oil production more effective, profitable, and less environmentally harmful. An extensive overview of the most current advancements in nanotechnology-based EOR is provided in this paper. It is a useful resource for researchers and business people interested in this area. This review's analysis of current advancements in nanotechnology-based EOR shows that this area is attracting more and more attention. There have been a lot more publications on this subject in recent years, and a lot of research is being done on many facets of nanotechnology-based EOR. The scientometric investigation discovered serious inadequacies in earlier studies on adopting EOR and its potential benefits for a sustainable future. Research partnerships, joint ventures, and cutting-edge technology that consider assessing current changes and advances in oil output can all benefit from the results of our scientometric analysis.

Abstract
In the petroleum industry, the remaining oil is often extracted using conventional chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, such as polymer flooding. Nanoparticles have also greatly aided EOR, with benefits like wettability alteration and improvements in fluid properties that lead to better oil mobility. However, silica nanoparticles combined with polymers like hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) improve polymer flooding performance with better mobility control. The oil displacement and the interaction between the rock and polymer solution are both influenced by this hybrid approach. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of the injection of nanofluid-polymer as an EOR approach. It has been observed that nanoparticles can change rock wettability, increase polymer viscosity, and decrease polymer retention in carbonate rock. The optimum concentrations for hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (2000 ppm) and 0.1 wt% (1000 ppm) silica nanoparticles were determined through rheology experiments and contact angle measurements. The results of the contact angle measurements revealed that 0.1 wt% silica nanofluid alters the contact angle by 45.6°. The nano-silica/polymer solution resulted in a higher viscosity than the pure polymer solution as measured by rheology experiments. A series of flooding experiments were conducted on oil-wet carbonate core samples in tertiary recovery mode. The maximum incremental oil recovery of 26.88% was obtained by injecting silica nanofluid followed by a nanofluid-assisted polymer solution as an EOR technique. The application of this research will provide new opportunities for hybrid EOR techniques in maximizing oil production from depleted high-temperature and high-salinity carbonate reservoirs.

Abstract
Polymers play a significant role in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) due to their viscoelastic properties and macromolecular structure. Herein, the mechanisms of the application of polymeric materials for enhanced oil recovery are elucidated. Subsequently, the polymer types used for EOR, namely synthetic polymers and natural polymers (biopolymers), and their properties are discussed. Moreover, the numerous applications for EOR such as polymer flooding, polymer foam flooding, alkali–polymer flooding, surfactant–polymer flooding, alkali–surfactant–polymer flooding, and polymeric nanofluid flooding are appraised and evaluated. Most of the polymers exhibit pseudoplastic behavior in the presence of shear forces. The biopolymers exhibit better salt tolerance and thermal stability but are susceptible to plugging and biodegradation. As for associative synthetic polyacrylamide, several complexities are involved in unlocking its full potential. Hence, hydrolyzed polyacrylamide remains the most coveted polymer for field application of polymer floods. Finally, alkali–surfactant–polymer flooding shows good efficiency at pilot and field scales, while a recently devised polymeric nanofluid shows good potential for field application of polymer flooding for EOR.

Abstract
Laboratory experiments have shown higher oil recovery with nanoparticle (NPs) flooding. Accordingly, many studies have investigated the nanoparticle-aided sweep efficiency of the injection fluid. The change in wettability and the reduction of the interfacial tension (IFT) are the two most proposed enhanced oil recovery (EOR) mechanisms of nanoparticles. Nevertheless, gaps still exist in terms of understanding the interactions induced by NPs that pave way for the mobilization of oil. This work investigated four types of polymer-coated silica NPs for oil recovery under harsh reservoir conditions of high temperature (60 ∘C) and salinity (38,380 ppm). Flooding experiments were conducted on neutral-wet core plugs in tertiary recovery mode. Nanoparticles were diluted to 0.1 wt.% concentration with seawater. The nano-aided sweep efficiency was studied via IFT and imbibition tests, and by examining the displacement pressure behavior. Flooding tests indicated incremental oil recovery between 1.51 and 6.13% of the original oil in place (OOIP). The oil sweep efficiency was affected by the reduction in core's permeability induced by the aggregation/agglomeration of NPs in the pores. Different types of mechanisms, such as reduction in IFT, generation of in-situ emulsion, microscopic flow diversion and alteration of wettability, together, can explain the nano-EOR effect. However, it was found that the change in the rock wettability to more water-wet condition seemed to govern the sweeping efficiency. These experimental results are valuable addition to the data bank on the application of novel NPs injection in porous media and aid to understand the EOR mechanisms associated with the application of polymer-coated silica nanoparticles.

Abstract
Using video microscopy and simulations, we study the long-time diffusion of colloidal tracers in a wide range of model porous media composed of frozen colloidal matrices with different structures. We found that the diffusion coefficient of a tracer can be quantitatively determined by the structures of porous media. In particular, a universal scaling relation exists between the dimensionless diffusion coefficient of the tracer and the structural entropy of the system. This universal scaling relation is an extension of the scaling law previously discovered for the diffusion of colloidal particles in fluctuating media.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have been proposed for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The research has demonstrated marvelous effort to realize the mechanisms of nanoparticles EOR. Nevertheless, gaps still exist in terms of understanding the nanoparticles-driven interactions occurring at fluids and fluid–rock interfaces. Surface-active polymers or other surface additive materials (e.g., surfactants) have shown to be effective in aiding the dispersion stability of NPs, stabilizing emulsions, and reducing the trapping or retention of NPs in porous media. These pre-requisites, together with the interfacial chemistry between the NPs and the reservoir and its constituents, can result in an improved sweep efficiency. This paper investigates four types of polymer-coated silica NPs for the recovery of oil from water-wet Berea sandstones. A series of flooding experiments was carried out with NPs dispersed at 0.1 wt.% in seawater in secondary and tertiary oil recovery modes at ambient conditions. The dynamic interactions of fluids, fluid–rock, and the transport behavior of injected fluid in the presence of NPs were, respectively, studied by interfacial tension (IFT), spontaneous imbibition tests, and a differential pressure analysis. Core flooding results showed an increase in oil recovery up to 14.8% with secondary nanofluid injection compared to 39.7% of the original oil in place (OOIP) from the conventional waterflood. In tertiary mode, nanofluids increased oil recovery up to 9.2% of the OOIP. It was found that no single mechanism could account for the EOR effect with the application of nanoparticles. Instead, the mobilization of oil seemed to occur through a combination of reduced oil/water IFT, change in the rock surface roughness and wettability, and microscopic flow diversion due to clogging of the pores.

Abstract
In industry, silica nanoparticles (NPs) are obtained by the fuming and the precipitation method. Fumed silica NPs are commonly used in the preparation of nanocomposites because they have an extremely low bulk density (160-190 kg/m3), large surface area (50-600 m2/g), and nonporous surface, which promotes strong physical contact between the NPs and the organic phase. Fumed silica has fewer silanol groups (Si-OH) on its surface than the silica prepared by the Stöber method. However, the number of -OH groups on the fumed silica surface can be increased by pretreating them with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) before further surface modification. In this study, the effectiveness of the NaOH pretreatment was evaluated on commercial fumed silica NPs with a surface area of 200 m2/g. The number of surface -OH groups was estimated by potentiometric titration. The pretreated fumed NPs, and the precipitated NPs (prepared by the Stöber method) were modified with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) to obtain A200S and nSiO2-APTES, respectively. The NPs were characterized using electron dispersive scanning (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) analysis, and ζ-potential. XRD confirmed the presence of the organo-functional group on the surface of both NPs. After the amino-functionalization, the ζ-potential values of the nSiO2 and A200 changed from -35.5 mV and -14.4 mV to +26.2 mV and +11.76 mV, respectively. Consequently, we have successfully synthesized functionalized NPs with interesting, specific surface area and porosity (pore volume and size), which can be attractive materials for chemical and energy industries.

Abstract
As oil fields go into their final stage of production, new technologies are necessary to sustain production and increase the recovery of the hydrocarbon. Chemical injection is an enhanced recovery technique, which focuses on increasing the effectiveness of waterfloods. However, the use of chemical flooding has been hampered by its relatively high cost and the adsorption of the injected chemicals onto the reservoir rocks. In recent years, nanofluids have been launched as an overall less expensive and more efficient alternative to other chemical agents. Nanoparticle inclusion is also proposed to mitigate polymer flooding performance limitations under harsh reservoir conditions. This review presents a comprehensive discussion of the most recent developments of polymer nanohybrids for oil recovery. First, the preparation methods of polymer nanohybrids are summarized and explained. Then, an explanation of the different mechanisms leading to improved oil recovery are highlighted. Finally, the current challenges and opportunities for future development and application of polymer nanohybrids for chemical flooding are identified.

Abstract
We determine the conformational change of polystyrene chains grafted to silica nanoparticles dispersed in deuterated cyclohexane using small-angle neutron scattering. The cyclohexane/polystyrene system exhibits an upper-critical solution temperature below which the system phase separates. By grafting the polystyrene chains to a nano-sized spherical silica particle, we observe a significant suppression in the Θ-temperature, decreasing from ≈38 °C for free polystyrene chains in d12-cyclohexane to ≈34 °C for the polystyrene-grafted nanoparticles. Above this temperature, the grafted chains are swollen and extended from the particle surface, resulting in well-dispersed grafted nanoparticles. Below this temperature, the grafted chains fully expel the solvent and collapse on the particle surface, destabilizing the nanoparticle suspension and leading to aggregation. We attribute the suppression of the Θ-temperature to a competition between entropic and enthalpic energies arising from the structure of the polymer-grafted nanoparticle in which the enthalpic terms appear to dominate.

Abstract
In this work, we report the phenomenon of formation of particle aggregates in the form of thin slender strings when a polyacrylamide (PAM) solution, laden with polystyrene (PS) beads is introduced into a microfluidic device containing an array of micropillars. PAM and a dilute solution of PS beads are introduced into the microfluidic channel through two separate inlets and localized particle aggregation is found to occur under certain flow regimes. The particle aggregates initially have a string-like morphology and are tethered at their ends to the micropillar walls, while the structure remains suspended in the fluid medium. Such a morphology inspired us to name these structures streamers. The flow regimes under which streamer formation is observed are quantified through state diagrams. We discuss the streamer formation time-scales and also show that streamer formation is likely the result of the flocculation of PS beads. Streamer formation has implications in investigating particle-laden complex flows through porous media.

Abstract
We investigate the effects of geometric order and fluid rheology on the dispersion of micron-sized particles in two-dimensional microfluidic porous media. Particles suspended in a mixture of glycerol and water or in solutions of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) polymers were imaged as they flowed through arrays of microscale posts. From the trajectories of the particles, we calculated the velocity distributions and thereafter obtained the longitudinal and transverse dispersion coefficients. Particles flowed in the shear-thinning HPAM solution through periodic arrays of microposts were more likely to switch between streamlines, due to elastic instabilities. As a result, the distributions of particle velocity were broader in HPAM solutions than in glycerol-water mixtures for ordered geometries. In a disordered array of microposts, however, there was little difference between the velocity distributions obtained in glycerol-water and in HPAM solutions. Correspondingly, particles flowed through ordered post arrays in HPAM solutions exhibited enhanced transverse dispersion. This result suggests that periodic geometric order amplifies the effects of the elasticity-induced velocity fluctuations, whereas geometric disorder of barriers effectively averages out the fluctuations.

Abstract
The structure of aqueous dispersions of poly(oligo(ethylene oxide) monomethyl methacrylate)-grafted silica nanoparticles was characterized using contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering studies. Modeling the low hybrid concentration dispersion scattering data using a fuzzy sphere and a polydisperse core–shell model, demonstrated that the polymer chains are highly swollen in the dispersions as compared to the dimensions of the free polymer chains in dilute solution. At higher hybrid concentrations, the dispersions were well described using a Percus–Yevick approximation to describe the structure factor. These structural characterization tools are excellent starting points for effective molecular level descriptors of dewetting and macroscopic phase transitions for polymer tethered hybrid nanoparticle systems.

Abstract
A facile "grafting through" approach was developed to tether tunable quantities of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) (PAMPS) as well as zwitterionic poly([3-(methacryloylamino)propyl]dimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide) (PMPDSA) homopolymer onto iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles (NPs). In this case, homopolymers may be grafted, unlike "grafting to" approaches that often require copolymers containing anchor groups. The polymer coating provided steric stabilization of the NP dispersions at high salinities and elevated temperature (90 °C) and almost completely prevented adsorption of the NPs on silica microparticles and crushed Berea sandstone. The adsorption of PAMPS IO NPs decreased with the polymer loading, whereby the magnitude of the particle-surface electrosteric repulsion increased. The zwitterionic PMPDSA IO NPs displayed 1 order of magnitude less adsorption onto crushed Berea sandstone relative to the anionic PAMPS IO NPs. The ability to design homopolymer coatings on nanoparticle surfaces by the "grafting through" technique is of broad interest for designing stable dispersions and modulating the interactions between nanoparticles and solid surfaces.

Abstract
The diffusive dynamics of dilute dispersions of nanoparticles of diameter 200-400 nm were studied in microfabricated arrays of nanoposts using differential dynamic microscopy and single particle tracking. Posts of diameter 500 nm and height 10 μm were spaced by 1.2-10 μm on a square lattice. As the spacing between posts was decreased, the dynamics of the nanoparticles slowed. Moreover, the dynamics at all length scales were best represented by a stretched exponential rather than a simple exponential. Both the relative diffusivity and the stretching exponent decreased linearly with increased confinement and, equivalently, with decreased void volume. The slowing of the overall diffusive dynamics and the broadening distribution of nanoparticle displacements with increased confinement are consistent with the onset of dynamic heterogeneity and the approach to vitrification.

Abstract
A novel copolymer containing nano-SiO2was synthesized by free radical polymerization using acrylamide (AM), acrylic acid (AA), and nano-SiO2functional monomer (NSFM) as raw materials under mild conditions. The AM/AA/NSFM copolymer was characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy,1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). It was found that the AM/AA/NSFM copolymer exhibited higher viscosity than the AM/AA copolymer at 500 s−1shear rate (18.6 mPa·s versus 8.7 mPa·s). It was also found that AM/AA/NSFM could achieve up to 43.7% viscosity retention rate at 95°C. Mobility control results indicated that AM/AA/NSFM could establish much higher resistance factor (RF) and residual resistance factor (RRF) than AM/AA under the same conditions (RF: 16.52 versus 12.17, RRF: 3.63 versus 2.59). At last, the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) of AM/AA/NSFM was up to 20.10% by core flooding experiments at 65°C.

Abstract
Brush-modified silica hybrids have been synthesized by growing poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (poly(DEA)) brushes on 120 nm diameter silica particles by surface-initiated activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ARGET ATRP). This is the first report of using SI-ARGET ATRP to synthesize poly(DEA) brushes. The kinetics of poly(DEA) brush growth in 4:1 v/v ethanol/water was monitored. The hydrodynamic diameter of the resulting brush-modified particles was dependent on the solution pH due to the weak polybasic nature of the brushes. Below the pKa of poly(DEA), the hydrodynamic diameter of the brush-modified particles increased with decreasing pH as a consequence of brush protonation, rearrangement and solvent uptake. This pH-response of the brushes was reversible and the hybrid particles exhibited significant hydrodynamic volume changes of up to 200% when the solution pH was cycled from pH 7 to pH 4.
