Utilizing nanoparticles (NPs) for stabilizing CO2-foams has recently become an interesting subject among petroleum engineers. It has been proven that silica (SiO2) NP is a good agent for stabilizing CO2-foams. Investigating the role of other types of NPs is ongoing and this research attempted to det...
