Silicon dioxide nanoparticle foam stability in tertiary petroleum production

Nanoparticles have thrived in importance over the last decade with substantial end user and industrial applications. Additionally, one of the pioneering applications of foam is in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). However, a major stumbling-block to the success of foam application in EOR is due to the hi...
