The effect of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles on wettability and brine-oil interfacial tension as enhance oil recovery mechanisms

A novel concept of utilizing nanoparticles (NPs) to boost oil recovery and reduce entrapped oil in hydrocarbon reservoirs is being explored. The use of nanofluids (NFs) flooding to change wettability and reduce interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water has been shown to be highly effective in...
