Unlike other conventional EOR agents e.g. surfactants and polymers, a harsh environment will cause degradation and failure to operate. Magnetic nanoparticles which are activated by a magnetic field are anticipated to have the ability to travel far into the oil reservoir and assist in the displacement of the trapped oil. In this work, ferromagnetic Co2+ xFe2+1-xFe3+2O 4 nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized for their morphological, structural and magnetic properties. At a composition x = 0.75, this nanomaterial shows its best magnetisation parameters i.e. highest value of saturation magnetization, remanence and coercivity of 65.23 emu/g, 12.18 emu/g and 239.10 Oe, respectively. Subsequently, a dispersion of 0.01 wt Co 2+0.75Fe2+0.25Fe3+ 2O4 nanoparticles in distilled water was used for core flooding test to validate its feasibility in enhanced oil recovery. In a core flooding test, the effect of electromagnetic waves irradiation to activate the magnetization of Co2+0.75Fe2+ 0.25Fe3+2O4 nanofluid was also investigated by irradiating a 78 MHz square wave to the porous medium while nanofluid injection was taking place. In conclusion, an almost 20 increment in the recovery of oil was obtained with the application of electromagnetic waves in 2 pore volumes injection of a Co2+0.75Fe 2+0.25Fe3+2O4 nanofluid. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84891813481&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fJNanoR.26.111&partnerID=40&md5=d1dd88efc3f766ceaca003140d8e38fa id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/JNanoR.26.111 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Nano Research volume: 26 pagerange: 111-116 refereed: TRUE issn: 16625250 citation: Soleimani, H. and Yahya, N. and Latiff, N.R.A. and Zaid, H.M. and Demiral, B. and Amighian, J.
