Nanotechnology Impact on Chemical-Enhanced Oil Recovery: A Review and Bibliometric Analysis of Recent Developments.

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 w
