Game-changing Nanofluid for Energy-Efficient Production
- Payback is ~1 month for each injection
- ~$8.00/Bbl all-in production cost
- ~$25,000 capex per well
- Non-toxic and biodegradable nanoparticles
- Nanoparticles generates new pressure
- ~99% viscosity reduction of heavy oil
- Permanently upgrades heavy oil in reservoir
- Reservoir permeability is increased
- Improves flow assurance near wellbore region
- Creates new pressure enhancing stripper wells
- Creates emulsion reducing water production
- Zero CO2 or NOx emissions
- In-situ surfactant alters wettability
- In-situ surfactant reduces interfacial tension
- Alters oil's rheology enhancing oil recovery
- Optimizes oil displacement
- Improves mobility and sweep efficiency
- High-temp heat enhances heavy oil production
- Breaks down asphaltene and paraffin
- ~42% sulfur reduction of heavy oil
- Not limited by depth or oil viscosity
- Avoids plugging uneconomic stripper wells
- Nanofluid is injected at ambient temperature
