Effect of annealing temperature on the rheological property of ZnO/SiO2nanocomposites for Enhanced Oil Recovery

The advanced process of recovering the trapped oil from the reservoir is known as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), which involves the injection of foreign fluids to manipulate the reservoir's petrophysical properties. Nanoparticles in this regard have shown significant effects on various EOR parame...
