    Abstract: The use of metallic oxides in enhanced oil recovery in the initial stage seems to significantly enhance the productivity from a well by increasing the sweep efficiency, reduce interfacial tension, and reduce oil viscosity among other factors. However, in later stages of the life of the reservoir, it is observed that the technology brings adverse ef... Show More
