Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) refers to the injection of water/gas with possible additives into a petroleum reservoir to produce more oil. EOR typically targets post waterflood or gas flood residual oil after the field starts producing too much water/gas and oil production decreases. Effective EOR methods target both pore scale recovery as well as large scale field (vertical and areal) sweep efficiency. The choice and effectiveness of EOR methods depend on the oil and reservoir rock properties. The goal of this research is to optimise nanoparticle enhanced waterflooding for conventional oil recovery using the offshore Newfoundland oil fields as case studies. This work is important to the sustainable and increased production of Canada’s conventional oil and our resource based economy.

提高石油采收率（EOR）是指将水/气体与可能的添加剂注入石油储层以生产更多的石油。EOR通常针对在油田开始产生太多水/气并且油产量降低之后的注水或气驱后残余油。有效的EOR方法的目标是孔隙规模采收率以及大规模油田（垂直和面积）波及效率。提高采收率方法的选择和有效性取决于原油和储层岩石的性质。本研究的目标是优化纳米粒子强化水驱常规采油使用离岸纽芬兰油田作为案例研究。这项工作对加拿大常规石油和资源型经济的可持续和增产至关重要。
