Abstrakt: Polymer-based chemical enhanced oil recovery methods, while overcoming the disadvantages of conventional waterflooding such as viscous fingering, have performance issues in saline and high temperature conditions that can be addressed through the application of nanotechnology. In the present work, a nanofluid prepared from copper oxide (PHPA) is explored in order to improve the oil recovery efficiency. The prepared nanofluid is analyzed for its rheological performance at various additive concentrations, salinities and for temperatures ranging from 25 to 100 C. The analysis predicts the nanofluid to exhibit a significant improvement in its rheological properties with resistance to saline and temperature conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
