Enhanced Oil Recovery through the Application of Nanoparticles with Irvingia Gabonensis in Flooding Process in the ReservoirBy Stanley Onwukwe, Ugochukwu I. Duru, Angela N. Nwachwukwu, Nnaemeka Uwaezuoke, Daniel O. Ndem, Chuks J. Onyemachi
Abstract: This experimental investigation is aimed at establishing the ability of nanofluids formula from a mixture of nanoparticles and oil extracted from Irvingia gabonensis (bush mango) in enhancing recovery from oil reservoir. The laboratory study involved the use of core flooding unit, crude oil, brine, nano-particles and Irvingia gabonensis. In this study, nanofluids formulated from nanoparticles of aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and zinc oxide (ZnO) respectively were used …
