AbstractThe ultra-low permeability reservoir is regarded as an important energy source for oil and gas resource development and is attracting more and more attention. In this work, the active silica nanofluids were prepared by modified active silica nanoparticles and surfactant BSSB-12. The dispersion stability tests showed that the hydraulic radius of nanofluids was 58.59 nm and the zeta potential was − 48.39 mV. The active nanofluids can simultaneously regulate liquid–liquid interface and solid–liquid interface. The nanofluids can reduce the oil/water interfacial tension (IFT) from 23.5 to 6.7 mN/m, and the oil/water/solid contact angle was altered from 42° to 145°. The spontaneous imbibition tests showed that the oil recovery of 0.1 wt% active nanofluids was 20.5% and 8.5% higher than that of 3 wt% NaCl solution and 0.1 wt% BSSB-12 solution. Finally, the effects of nanofluids on dynamic contact angle, dynamic interfacial tension and moduli were studied from the adsorption behavior of nanofluids at solid–liquid and liquid–liquid interface. The oil detaching and transporting are completed by synergistic effect of wettability alteration and interfacial tension reduction. The findings of this study can help in better understanding of active nanofluids for EOR in ultra-low permeability reservoirs.

The use of rough and heterogeneous colloids as Pickering stabilizers fundamentally alters the properties of particle stabilized emulsions. Systematic variations in the emulsification shear rate, oil/water ratio and particle type reveal the influence of particle heterogeneity on the formation and formulation of emulsions.

At the view of the present situation of the oil-water interface measurement, all sorts of measurement method can not eliminate the interference of temperature and hang oil. In order to control water ratio of purification oil at the output, simple interface detector cannot have satisfy the actual needs. A key contribution of this paper is to propose a solution based on a new type of sensor head and a test of new solution to the problem of capacitive sensing at high water ratio. A LC oscillation circuits is used to detect the variation of capacitance, overcoming the influence of the hang oil and the temperature.


Stable emulsions contained in oil sludge make it difficult to conduct. The physical properties of oil sludge usually vary widely and depend on the oil's own viscosity, temperature, oil-water ratio. Therefore, emulsions being dispersed systems under certain conditions have specific properties i.e. they are non-Newtonian liquids. Heavy oil and oil sludge are diluted with hydrocarbons, more often, gas condensate, which reduces the viscosity, density and other rheological parameters of high-sulfur oil.
