چکیده
در این پژوهش، کاربرد نانومواد در صنعت نفت با هدف بهبود فرآیندهای ازدیاد برداشت نفت[1] مورد بررسی جامع و تحلیلی قرار گرفته است. نانومواد شامل نانوذرات، نانوکامپوزیت‌ها، نانوسیالات، نانورس‌ها و نانوامولسیون‌ها — به‌دلیل برخورداری از نسبت سطح به حجم بسیار بالا، واکنش‌پذیری شیمیایی چشمگیر و قابلیت تغییر خواص فیزیکوشیمیایی سیستم‌های سنگ–سیال، نقشی کلیدی در افزایش بهره‌وری برداشت نفت از مخازن ایفا می‌کنند. این مطالعه به تحلیل انواع نانومواد مورد استفاده در روش‌های مختلف EOR از جمله روش‌های شیمیایی، حرارتی، میکروبی و ترکیبی می‌پردازد و مکانیسم‌های اصلی مؤثر در بهبود بازیافت نفت — مانند کاهش کشش بین‌سطحی[2]، تغییر ترشوندگی[3] بهبود خواص رئولوژیکی سیالات و کنترل نسبت تحرک[4] را به‌صورت نظام‌مند تبیین می‌کند. علاوه بر این، پیشرفت‌های اخیر در زمینه‌ی توسعه‌ی نانومواد سبز و نانوکامپوزیت‌های هوشمند که با استفاده از مواد سازگار با محیط‌زیست (از قبیل سورفکتانت‌های طبیعی، پلیمرهای زیستی و نانوذرات با منشأ گیاهی) طراحی شده‌اند، مرور و ارزیابی شده است. در پایان، شکاف‌های تحقیقاتی موجود و چشم‌اندازهای آینده در کاربرد نانومواد در فرآیندهای EOR مطرح گردیده تا مسیر پژوهش‌های آینده و توسعه‌ی فناوری‌های نوین در این حوزه ترسیم شود.

چکیده English

In this paper, the application of nanoparticles in the petroleum industry to enhance oil production of oil reservoirs is comprehensively reviewed. Nanomaterials are employed in various forms, including nanoparticles, nanosensors, nanocomposites, coated nanoparticles, and nanofluids, across different petroleum processes. Nanotechnology plays a pivotal role in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods by facilitating the extraction of oil trapped in subsurface reservoirs. Certain nanoparticles have garnered significant attention due to their environmental compatibility and cost-effectiveness. These nanoparticles create favorable conditions for improving oil recovery through their interactions with the rock/oil system.This study explores the types of nanoparticles and nanomaterials utilized in petroleum applications, emphasizing their physicochemical and mechanical properties. Additionally, the role of nanoparticles in chemical, hybrid, thermal, and microbial extraction methods is examined. The research also delves into the various mechanisms associated with nanoparticle usage, such as enhancing rheological properties, controlling fluid mobility, altering rock wettability, and reducing interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water.Furthermore, the study investigates the potential of green nanomaterials and advanced nanocomposites designed to optimize fluid and oil recovery performance. These materials incorporate environmentally friendly chemical agents, such as surfactants, alcohols, and polymers, to improve the efficiency and sustainability of petroleum extraction processes.
