Inexpensive, non-toxic nanofluid could be a game-changer for oil recovery – EurekAlert
Researchers at the University of Houston have demonstrated that an inexpensive, non-toxic nanofluid can be used to efficiently recover even high viscosity heavy oil from reservoirs. The nanofluid, made in a common household mixer using commercially available sodium, recovered in laboratory tests 80% extra-heavy oil with a viscosity of over 400,000 centipoise at room temperature.
