Abstract

The both of light and heavy crude oil are listed as valuable fuels. Investigation of physical properties of crude oil is so important in the well or in the enhanced oil recovery problems. The enhanced oil recovery which is named as E.O.R. is evaluated by many researchers. The Finding the properties of crude oil after addition of nano particle is considered in this work. Experiments are held to investigate the effect of nano particles on the physical properties of two kinds of heavy crude oil (API =21.45) and light crude oil (API= 32.95). Nano zinc oxide with the range of 75-89 nm in diameter is added in crude oil and changes in recovery%, is surveyed with various temperature and pressure. Experimental results are shown in Figures indicate on the positive effect of nano particles in the oil sweetening processes.
