Silica Nanoparticles in Xanthan Gum Solutions: Oil Recovery Efficiency in Core Flooding Tests

Polymer flooding is one of the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods that increase the macroscopic efficiency of the flooding process and enhanced crude oil recovery. In this study, the effect of silica nanoparticles (NP-SiO<sub>2</sub>) in xanthan gum (XG) solutions was investigated throu...
