Abstract
Ionic liquids have emerged as a promising new material for a wide range of industrial applications, because of their unique structures and properties. Ionic liquids possess exceptional properties such as chemical and thermal stability, negligible vapor pressure, or solvency power for different types of molecules. Ionic liquids find their application in different operations in petroleum industry. The purpose of this paper is to review previously published works on the application of the IL in various areas of the petroleum industry and related processes. A detailed discussion of various processes such as enhanced oil recovery, drilling fluids, gas hydrate, CO2 capture, and flow assurance has been provided. This in-depth discussion is intended to aid professional and researchers in understanding the present condition and planning for the future.
