| Summary: | Oil has become a major part of social life, especially its function as a necessity for
various industries. An increase in oil recovery can have a major impact, especially in
oil wells where heavy oil is present. To overcome this p roblem, one way that can be
done is tertiary enhanced oil recovery using SiO 2 coated Fe 3 O 4 nanomaterials. In this
research, the manufacture of nanomaterials which act as oil adsorption agents and
emulsification stability in the laboratory which will later be considered for direct
testing in the oil field
The purpose of this research is to produce nanomaterials that can be applied as
additives in brine water. In addition, the use of nanoparticles in this study is also
intended to increase the oil recovery fa ctor.
This research consists of 3 main stages including (1) Characterization of oil in the
Balam well (2) Synthesis and characterization of Fe 3 O 4 coated SiO 2 nanoparticles
and (3) Lab scale performance with the addition of nanoparticles. The nanomaterial
was synthesized using the co precipitation method which was then given
polyethylene glycol stabilizer. The characterization carried out in this study included
X ray Difraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and UV Visible
Spectrophotometry (UV Vis) for the characterization of nanoparticles, as well as
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), testing the viscosity and performance of oil using
Viscometer as well as Zeta Potential. |
