9 NANOTECHNOLOGY IN OIL AND GAS Rapidly growing interest in nanotechnology in oil and gas industry, as highlighted by recent SPE conference Example applications include using nanoparticles for Agents for modifying surface wettability Mobilization agents for recovery of residual oil Enhancing mineral scale management systems Enhanced drilling fluids Water shut-off

10 NANOPARTICLE TRANSPORT Problem in using nanoparticles downhole is understanding and controlling nanoparticle transport through porous media Nanoparticles need to be delivered to the required location Nanoparticles need to adsorb/desorb to/from surfaces of they are to change surface properties e.g. wettability effect of flow?

11 NANOPARTICLE TRANSPORT Experimental corefloods can give some idea of macroscopic effects and changes in behavior, but give no indication of pore-level coverage or mechanisms Inject e.g. nanoparticle suspension Rock core sample Monitor effluent What is the distribution and coverage inside?

12 NANOPARTICLE TRANSPORT Pore-scale CFD can help explore nanoparticle transport and adsorption and desorption

13 AIM & METHODOLOGY Aim is to explore the effect of flow on adsorption Consider flows in idealized pore-scale geometries Finite element analysis Build up understanding of influence of flow and geometry on adsorption and desorption Infer behavior in much larger pore networks

14 MODEL Treat nanoparticle suspension as a dilute suspension with a continuous concentration field Navier-Stokes equations for (steady) fluid flow One-way coupling of (time-dependent) advectiondiffusion equation for nanofluid concentration Freundlich adsorption-desorption model

15 GEOMETRY CONSIDERED To isolate effect of inclination of surface to main flow direction, consider: Flow direction 45ᵒ 90ᵒ 135ᵒ α 0 ᵒ 180 ᵒ Flow Active adsorption surfaces 90 ᵒ 0 ᵒ 180 ᵒ

16 GOVERNING EQUATIONS AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS Bulk concentration Surface concentration of adsorbed species

17 GOVERNING EQUATIONS AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

18 SIMULATION CONDITIONS Description Value Unit Initial concentration in place 0 mol/m3 Inlet discharge concentration 1000 mol/m3 Adsorption rate constant 1.00E-06 m3/(s.mol) Desorption rate constant 1.00E-09 1/s Water Diffusivity 1.60E-09 m2/s Channel width 1.00E-05 m Simulation time length 2.00E+03 s Particle diameter 1.20E-09 m Inlet pressure 3 Pa Outlet pressure 0 Pa

19 RESULTS Velocity field

20 RESULTS Concentration field at steady state

21 Bulk concentration at the active surface RESULTS Higher concentration at the edge that is perpendicular to and facing the flow Arc length around octagon

22 Reduction in concentration of adsorbed species compared to surface facing flow RESULTS time

23 CONCLUSIONS CFD offers the opportunity to explore nanoparticle penetration and distribution within pore networks To begin, simple geometries considered to explore local effects Through variations in the bulk concentration at the surface, fluid flow has been shown to influence the local adsorption of nanoparticles However, flow is not explicitly included in the material balance (adsorption-desorption) equation

24 FUTURE WORK Adsorption experiments using micromodels to verify the correct adsorption-desorption model to be used Extension to more complicated pore networks Extension to 3D
