چکیده
ترکیبات هم‌افزایی شده به دلیل خواص سطحی بالا نتایج موثری در راستای بهبود تولید نفت از مخازن نفتی از خود نشان داده‌اند. در این مطالعه آزمایشگاهی، یک نانوسیال جدید به منظور تغییر ترشوندگی و ازدیاد برداشت نفت آماده شد. در این راستا، در ابتدا نانوذره سنتز شده و سپس با ترکیباتی موثر مورد اصلاح سطحی واقع گردید. خصوصیات ساختاری نانوذره سنتزی اصلاح سطحی شده با استفاده از آنالیزهای SEM،FTIR  و XRD انجام شد. پایداری نانوسیال با استفاده از آنالیز پتانسیل زتا بررسی شد. از طرفی دیگر، آزمایشات کشش سطحی، زاویه تماس و سیلابزنی مغزه انجام شد. نتایج نشان داد که نانوسیال زاویه تماس و کشش سطحی را به ترتیب از مقدار پایه به °29 و mN/m 3/20 کاهش می‌دهد. نتایج سیلابزنی مغزه نشان داد که حداکثر بازیافت نفت با استفاده از نانوسیال سنتزی به مقدار 15 درصد می‌باشد.

چکیده English

Synergistic compounds have shown effective results in improving oil production from oil reservoirs due to their high surface properties. In this experimental study, a novel was prepared to alter the wettability and increase oil recovery. In this regard, the nanoparticle was first synthesized and then surface-modified with effective compounds. The structural characteristics of the surface-modified synthetic nanoparticle were analyzed using SEM, FTIR and XRD. The stability of the nanofluid was investigated using zeta potential analysis. Additionally, interfacial tension, contact angle and core flooding tests were done. The results showed that the nanofluid reduced the contact angle and surface tension from the baseline values to 29° and 3.20 mN/m, respectively. The core flooding results indicated that the maximum oil recovery using the synthetic nanofluid was 15%.
