An Experimental Study of the Influence of the Preflush Salinity on Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Silica-Based Nanofluids

The underlying effect of preflush salinity and silica nanofluid (Si-NF) on oil production is examined. The influence of salinity on the stability of Si-NFs is studied. A series of sand-pack floodings evaluating oil production was conducted at different concentrations of preflush salinity (0 to 4 wt....
