Mesoporous silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (MSNP) was used to stabilize formation fines for increased oil recovery during low salinity water flooding. Likewise, the effect of porous media length on dynamic retention of fines at high temperature reservoir condition was investigated. Breakthrough curves o...
