A Review on Application of nanotechnology on Oil and Gas Industries

Abstract

The science and technology of structures with dimensions ranging from 1 nm to 100 nm is represented by nanotechnology. Exploration and output from traditional oil and gas wells has entered a phase of decline today. To tackle this question, modern techniques have been developed. Effective production of oil at a low cost is a major problem at present. This paper reviews the uses of nanotechnology in the oil and gas production market, particularly in the fields of oil field discovery, drilling, processing and waste treatment, and their environmental concerns. In these areas, the paper discusses experiments performed by various researchers. The impact of different nanoparticles on the recovery of oil in drilling fluids and silica nanoparticles has been identified and examined. A thorough overview of the advantages of nanotechnology in oil discovery and development are represented in this article. There will be great gains from the convergence of nanotechnology and petroleum technologies. Petroleum research is very new to the mechanics and chemistry of nanoparticles and nanostructures. Nanotechnology has been reluctant to achieve mainstream adoption in the oil and gas industry because of the greater danger involved with the adaptation of emerging technologies. The existing economic dynamics, however, have been a driving force for newer innovations.
