Various nanoparticles (NPs) have been discovered as revolutionary agents of change in reservoir properties such as rheology, interfacial tension (IFT), and surface wettability that could lead to enhanced oil displacement. In recent years, Silicon dioxide (SiO2) and various metal oxide NPs have recor...
