Sodium Nanofluid Developed for Inexpensive Oil Recovery

  • Scientists at the University of Houston have designed an inexpensive and non-toxic nanofluid to recover oil with high viscosity from reservoirs.
  • The nanofluid consist of commercially available sodium and was developed using a household blender.
  • Tests confirmed recovery of 80% of extra-heavy oil which had a viscosity of over 400,000 centipoise at room temperature.
  • Zhifeng Ren, director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH, stated the recovery in the field is expected to be less than...
