Green Nanotechnology for Enhanced Oil Recovery

Exothermic nanofluid creates high-temperature heat, new pressure and improved permeability

Exothermic nanofluid creates high-temperature heat, new pressure and improved permeability

Green Nanofluid Production Benefits:

NaNoEOR™ nanoparticles could make current EOR chemicals more robust for significant production enhancement
Achieves a fast and high Return on Investment (ROI)
Nanofluid treatment cost is less than $13 per incremental barrel of oil
Investment payback is 2 to 4 months for each injection treatment
ZERO CapEx and significantly reduced OpEx
Repressurizes the reservoir to improve mobility
Generates high-temperature heat reduces heavy oil viscosity 99%
Improves permeability to recover more trapped tight shale oil
Increases proved oil reserves and future asset value
Extends the producing lifespan of declining oil wells
Nanofluid drives more oil to the production well
Refractures the formation to extend the longevity of the declining well
Nanofluid can be an additive to improve oilfield chemical company's surfactant/polymer products to achieve a higher-performing production enhancement solution compared to Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer (ASP)
NaNoEOR™ is a best-in-class production enhancement product

Nanofluid creates an exothermic reaction in the reservoir that generates hydrogen gas, significant heat, creates NaOH surfactant, and new reservoir pressure for the following benefits:
Achieves wettability alteration making the reservoir rock more water-wet
70–90% interfacial tension (IFT) reduction
Alters permeability for higher sweep efficiency of injected nanofluid
Improves mobility accelerating the oil production rate
Increases reservoir pressure to sweep oil towards the production well
Nanoparticles alters the oils rheology
Emulsifies crude oil for pipeline transportation instead of expensive diluents
Sand pack lab tests demonstrated 82% recovery of heavy OOIP
Nanofluid reduced 400,000 cP ultra-heavy oil viscosity 99%
Benefits light oil, heavy oil, oil sands, tight/shale oil, & shale gas
NaNoEOR™ is a transformational EOR technology in a "class by itself" and therefore "unique and innovative"
