Nanomaterial in Oil Industry
Nanomaterials are
successfully implemented in oil and gas
industry in various sectors such as exploring, drilling, refining,
production and waste treatment. The nanomaterial is used to drill wells at
extreme temperature. Nanocoating
enhances corrosion resistivity of equipment. Nanomembrane
used in the enhanced separation of impurities. Nanosensors
are used to measure the condition of the reservoir. Nanofluids
enhance the oil production, oil refining
is improved by nanocatalysts
and nanomembranes are useful in separation and purification process.
