Surface functionalization of silica nanoparticles to improve the performance of water flooding in oil wet reservoirs

Over the past few years, increasing attention has been devoted to the applications of special engineered nanoparticles in enhancing oil recovery. Earlier studies reported the effects of these particles on wettability alteration of reservoir rock. The present study presents a new method for modifying...
