Implication

This study finds that nanocellulose and nanosilica significantly reduce interfacial tension in crude oil-brine systems, suggesting a cost-effective approach for Enhanced Oil Recovery.

Key Points

Interfacial tension decreased significantly, with values for 1% NaCl dropping from 39.8 to 15.9 dynes/cm and 0.5% NaCl from 35.7 to 11.7 dynes/cm.
Nanosilica and nanocellulose were derived from agricultural waste, showcasing their effective physicochemical properties for Enhanced Oil Recovery applications.
Characterization included density measurements (0.8348 to 0.8400 g/cm3) and viscosity ranges (kinematic 1.69–1.98 cSt, dynamic 1.41–1.65 cP).
This eco-friendly method valorizes agricultural waste while improving oil recovery efficiency, addressing the rising global energy demand.
