Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are useful in modifying two critical mechanisms for enhanced oil recovery (EOR): interfacial tension (IFT) and rock surface wettability. Regrettably, due to the harsh reservoir conditions, perpetual agglomeration of the NPs is prevalent in the reservoir. Consequently,...
