Systematic microfluidic study of the mechanisms of intensification of oil recovery by nanomodified surfactant-polymer compositions

Key Points

• Intensification of oil recovery is achieved through nanomodified surfactant-polymer compositions, enhancing fluid dynamics.
• The study demonstrates a significant increase in oil recovery efficiency, achieving improvements of up to 30%.
• Assessment utilized systematic microfluidic techniques to examine the interactions between surfactants and polymers.
• Findings may enable more efficient oil extraction methods, but require further validation in field applications.
