Dynamic modelling of reservoir fines retention by mesoporous silica nanofluid to improve oil recovery during low salinity water flooding of a consolidated sandstone

Mesoporous silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (MSNP) was used to stabilize formation fines for increased oil recovery during low salinity water flooding. Likewise, the effect of porous media length on dynamic retention of fines at high temperature reservoir condition was investigated. Breakthrough curves o...
