Abstract
In recent studies, there has been an increasing focus on Nanoparticles Enhanced Oil Recovery
(NPEOR). NPEOR is a method that was initially developed to improve microscopic and
macroscopic displacement efficiency. In some recent applications NP have been assisted the
conventional EOR methods such as a polymer, surfactant, and Co2 flooding, with the purpose of
increasing the oil recovery. In this literature, the abilities to use NP in EOR are investigated. The
function of different types of NP, different types of Dispersing agents, availability of
nanomaterials in the lab, the effect of nanoparticles to change the properties, future challenges
and concerns about the NP, are reviewed. However, the stability of suspensions of NP is still the
most barrier to use NP in EOR. Upcoming studies are necessary to focus on the outcome of the
appropriate techniques of NP to improve their stability under the worst conditions of reservoirs
and investigate new types of nanoparticles.
