The changes introduced by nanotechnology, have currently extended to several areas for oil and gas industry, namely exploration, drilling, production, refining and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This study focuses on attraction to the worldwide attention of nanotechnology and how this method effects oil breakthrough and improves EOR. This Study also implies that parameters such as rock types, crude oil types, nanoparticle types, concentrations, and sizes, have significant factors on recovery factor (RF) through improving key-parameters such as oil relative permeability, interfacial tension (IFT), wettability, transmissibility and particles retention. © 2016 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2016 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84966356262&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fDDF.367.149&partnerID=40&md5=35ffaebe083aac861ea832abcd938e72 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/DDF.367.149 full_text_status: none publication: Defect and Diffusion Forum volume: 367 pagerange: 149-156 refereed: TRUE issn: 10120386 citation: Sabet, M. and Hosseini, S.N. and Zamani, A. and Hosseini, Z. and Soleimani, H.
