    • Experimental Investigation of Polymer-Coated Silica Nanoparticles for Enhanced Oil Recovery. 

      Bila, Alberto Luis; Stensen, Jan Åge; Torsæter, Ole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Recently, polymer-coated nanoparticles were proposed for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) due to their improved properties such as solubility, stability, stabilization of emulsions and low particle retention on the rock surface. ...

    • Identification of Nanocellulose Retention Characteristics in Porous Media 

      Aadland, Reidun Cecilie Grønfur; Dziuba, Carter Jordan; Heggset, Ellinor Bævre; Syverud, Kristin; Torsæter, Ole; Holt, Torleif; Gates, Ian D.; Bryant, Steven (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      The application of nanotechnology to the petroleum industry has sparked recent interest in increasing oil recovery, while reducing environmental impact. Nanocellulose is an emerging nanoparticle that is derived from trees ...

    • Polymer Gels Made with Functionalized Organo-Silica Nanomaterials for Conformance Control. 

      Najafiazar, Bahador; Wessel-Berg, Dag; Bergmo, Per Eirik Strand; Simon, Christian; Yang, Juan; Torsæter, Ole; Holt, Torleif (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Deep placement of gel in waterflooded hydrocarbon reservoirs may block channels with high water flow and may divert the water into other parts of the reservoir, resulting in higher oil production. In order to get the gel ...

    • Polymer-functionalized silica nanoparticles for improving water flood sweep efficiency in Berea sandstones. 

      Bila, Alberto Luis; Stensen, Jan Åge; Torsæter, Ole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Extraction of oil trapped after primary and secondary oil production stages still poses many challenges in the oil industry. Therefore, innovative enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies are required to run the production ...
