The polarization effect on reservoir sandstone under an electric double layer is one of the major research interests. The nanoparticles agglomeration such as graphene nanofluid due to poor dispersion in reservoir zone can be a major challenge that can lead to low reservoir permeability are well elucidated. This study investigated the influence of graphene nanofluid on the ionic polarization under an electric double layer in reservoir sandstone. Saturated Berea sandstone was used to investigate the interaction of ionic species on reservoir sandstone with the aid of Field-emission microscopy (FESEM), Energy dispersive X-ray mapping (EDX), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectral analysis, and Core flooding experiment. This research gives information on the adsorption of ions within an electric double layer and its polarization mechanisms. It was revealed from the experimental result that ionic polarization occurs at 9.97 GHz with a 5.8nm wavelength shift which improves the mobility of the reservoir and in turn increases oil recovery factors. Graphene nanoparticles show a positive effect on both reservoir oil viscosity and stabilization characteristics of drilling fluids, wettability alteration, interfacial tension, and improving the emulsion © 2022 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland. date: 2022 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85142601603&doi=10.4028%2fp-m72sy9&partnerID=40&md5=3ac8df3e5f724384e66afa210c66c29b id_number: 10.4028/p-m72sy9 full_text_status: none publication: Defect and Diffusion Forum volume: 420 pagerange: 152-161 refereed: TRUE issn: 10120386 citation: Soleimani, H. and Sikiru, S. and Soleimani, H. and Khodapanah, L. and Sabet, M.
