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.
石油和天然气是仅有的两个可能因纳米技术（一个快速发展的领域）而发生变革的行业。化学强化采油（CEOR）方法利用化学物质来加速油从油藏中的流动。利用纳米技术可以制造出更高效且更环保的新型和改进型CEOR化合物。主要研究领域之一是创造能够更有效地将强化采油化学物质输送到油藏的新型纳米材料。这包括制造可用于改变油藏流体粘度和表面张力的纳米颗粒，以及构建可用于提高现有强化采油化合物效率的纳米颗粒。该评估还指出了在基于纳米技术的强化采油能够在工业中广泛应用之前必须克服的一些困难。这些困难包括需要制造可大规模生产、具有成本效益的纳米材料。需要制定在不危及油藏地层的情况下向油藏供应纳米材料的策略。要求评估基于纳米技术的CEOR化合物的环境影响。尽管存在困难，但基于纳米技术的强化采油的优势是巨大的。纳米技术可以使石油生产更高效、更盈利且对环境危害更小。本文对基于纳米技术的强化采油的最新进展进行了广泛综述。对于对该领域感兴趣的研究人员和商业人士而言，它是一份有用的资源。本综述对基于纳米技术的强化采油当前进展的分析表明，该领域正吸引着越来越多的关注。近年来关于这个主题有更多的出版物，并且正在对基于纳米技术的强化采油的许多方面进行大量研究。科学计量学调查发现早期关于采用强化采油及其对可持续未来潜在益处的研究存在严重不足。考虑评估当前石油产量变化和进展的研究合作、合资企业以及前沿技术都可以从我们的科学计量学分析结果中受益。
