Revolutionizing the Oil and Gas Industry through Nanotechnology

Abstract

Nanotechnology has the potential to change the technological landscape of the oil and gas industry. Current research is exploring the use of nanotechnology in different aspects related to the oil and gas industry. This review summarizes the research advances in the field of drilling and processing and, the development/improvement of oil recovery using nanotechnology. Such information can help researchers understand current research and expand the applications of existing nanomaterials and elucidating the special properties of nanomaterials will continue to increase the use of nanomaterials in the oil petroleum and natural gas sectors.
