Iranian researchers develop nanocomposite hydrogel to boost oil reservoir efficiency
A team of Iranian scientists has developed an intelligent nanocomposite hydrogel designed to control sand production in oil reservoirs, a common challenge that raises operational costs and damages infrastructure. The innovation could improve oil recovery. Researchers created the hydrogel using domestic nanotechnology expertise. The material swells in water but contracts in oil, simultaneously reducing water …
