Comprehensive review of nanoparticle use in oil and gas production process

Growing demand of oil and energy has caused researchers to invent new ways to improve oil production process. It is clear that Traditional ways of producing and processing oil will not be suitable in future. Nano-tech is one of emerging technologies that its benefits are obvious for everyone. Nano particles have special characteristics, which are so beneficial to oil industry. Nano technology has vital role in improving drilling fluid, cement, sensor, bits, membranes etc., characteristics and quality. The oil industry especially the upstream sector has recently become the subject of numerous studies. In this paper, we will scrutiny most recent studies on Nano-tech use in upstream sector.
