Study of Adsorption and Transport Behavior of Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) Nanofluids In Difference Porous Media

In order to extract more residual oil in place, understanding the adsorption and transportation of nanoparticles in porous media is critical. Even though there are a lot of studies on nanoparticles application in oil and gas industry but until today, the transport of nanoparticles in porous media...
