Numerical analysis of SiO2-SDS surfactant effect on oil recovery in sandstone reservoirs

Currently, the demand for using nanoparticles (NPs) in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is very high. The use of NPs can drastically benefit EOR by changing the rock wettability, improving the mobility of oil phase and decreasing the interfacial tension (IFT) between oil/water. Most of the previous studi...
