Abstract

In these experiments, two nano particles dissolved that in water, are used to inject into simulated
environment and also the effect of these nano particles in water base drilling typical fluid have been
investigated. Using nanoparticles in all samples has resulted in recovery increase. Finally,
considering the experiments, it is demonstrated that flows with nano and in particular Titanium
dioxide nano( TiO 2  ) have the highes amount of recovery factors. So, using nanoparticles in water
flooding and even some of the polymer flooding ones. Also, results of the other tests, regarding each
typical drilling costs of each foot and importance of time in the operation, it is possible to replace
technically and economically ordinary additional (here, the widely used sodium hydroxide) with
Fumed silica nano in drilling fluid to prevent cement­contamination of the drilling fluid. The
advantages of nano TiO 2  are possessing suitable thermal transition qualities in the drilling fluid.
