Abstract
Oil and gas are only two industries that could change because of nanotechnology, a rapidly growing field. The chemical-enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) method uses chemicals to accelerate oil flow from reservoirs. New and enhanced CEOR compounds that are more efficient and eco-friendly can be created using nanotechnology. One of the main research areas is creating novel nanomaterials that can transfer EOR chemicals to the reservoir more effectively. It was creating nanoparticles that can be used to change the viscosity and surface tension of reservoir fluids and constructing nanoparticles that can be utilized to improve the efficiency of the EOR compounds that are already in use. The assessment also identifies some difficulties that must be overcome before nanotechnology-based EOR can become widely used in industry. These difficulties include the requirement for creating mass-producible, cost-effective nanomaterials. There is a need to create strategies for supplying nanomaterials to the reservoir without endangering the formation of the reservoir. The requirement is to evaluate the environmental effects of CEOR compounds based on nanotechnology. The advantages of nanotechnology-based EOR are substantial despite the difficulties. Nanotechnology could make oil production more effective, profitable, and less environmentally harmful. An extensive overview of the most current advancements in nanotechnology-based EOR is provided in this paper. It is a useful resource for researchers and business people interested in this area. This review's analysis of current advancements in nanotechnology-based EOR shows that this area is attracting more and more attention. There have been a lot more publications on this subject in recent years, and a lot of research is being done on many facets of nanotechnology-based EOR. The scientometric investigation discovered serious inadequacies in earlier studies on adopting EOR and its potential benefits for a sustainable future. Research partnerships, joint ventures, and cutting-edge technology that consider assessing current changes and advances in oil output can all benefit from the results of our scientometric analysis.
