چکیده
تکنیک هم افزایی نانوذرات، آب کم‌شور و سورفکتانت یک استراتژی امیدوارکننده و نوآورانه برای افزایش بازیافت نفت و جلوگیری از رسوب آسفالتین می‌باشد. در این مطالعه، کاربردها و مزایای تکنیک مذکور مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. همچنین، مکانیسم جابه‌جایی نفت، کاربرد میدانی، ملاحضات اقتصادی و جهت‌گیری‌های تحقیقاتی آینده نیز ارائه شده است. بررسی‌ها نشان می‌دهد که استفاده همزمان از نانوذرات، آب کم‌شور و سورفکتانت می‌تواند با تغییر ترشوندگی به حالت آب‌دوست، جلوگیری از مهاجرت ذرات ریز و کاهش جذب سورفکتانت برروی زمینه سنگی، همزمان با افزایش ضریب بازیافت، هزینه‌ها را به مقدار قابل‌توجهی کاهش دهد. استفاده از تکنیک مذکور می‌تواند کشش سطحی و ترشوندگی سنگ را به ترتیب تا mN/m  0/99 و °22 کاهش دهد. ضمناً، این تکنیک با پخش‌کردن مولکول‌های آسفالتین در محیط متخلخل، در زمینه مقابله با چالش‌های مرتبط با رسوب آسفالتین نیز موثر می‌باشد. بررسی‌ها نشان داد که غلظت، فاکتور کلیدی می‌باشد. بر همین اساس، غلظت بالاتر از 0/2 درصد وزنی نانوذرات به ندرت توصیه می‌شود. تحقیقات آینده می‌تواند در راستای هم افزایی سورفکتانت و آب کم‌شور با نانوذرات سیلیکا، آلومینیوم و اکسید گرافن متمرکز باشد. نتایج این مطالعه به محققین کمک می‌کند تا بهترین ترکیبات هم‌افزایی‌شده را برای تست‌های ازدیاد برداشت نفت انتخاب کرده و علاوه بر افزایش بازیافت نفت، آسیب‌های ناشی از ناسازگاری‌ها را به حداقل رسانند.

چکیده English

The synergistic technique of nanoparticles, low salinity water and surfactant represents a promising and innovative strategy for enhancing oil recovery and preventing the deposition of asphaltenes. In this study, the applications and advantages of the aforementioned technique are studied. Additionally, the mechanisms of oil displacement, field applications, economic considerations, and future research directions are presented. The findings indicate that the simultaneous use of nanoparticles, low salinity water, and surfactants can significantly reduce costs while enhancing recovery rates by altering wettability to a hydrophilic state, preventing the migration of fine rock particles, and decreasing surfactant adsorption on the rock surface. By employing this technique, the interfacial tension and wettability can be reduced to 0.99 mN/m and 22°, respectively. Furthermore, this technique effectively addresses the challenges related to the asphaltene deposition by dispersing asphaltene molecules within the porous media. Investigations have demonstrated that concentration is a critical factor; therefore, concentrations exceeding 0.2 wt% of nanoparticles are rarely recommended. Future research should focus on exploring the synergy between surfactants/low-salinity water and nanoparticles such as silica, aluminum oxide, and graphene oxide. The results reported in this study can assist researchers in selecting the optimal synergistic combinations for enhanced oil recovery tests, thereby minimizing the detrimental effects of incompatibilities while increasing recovery rates.
