Application OF Nanotechnology

For Oil and Gas ndustry


2/12

It is hard to imagine industrial operations or even privateactivities without oil and gas – anywhere in the world. Not only do

they supply energy for heat and power, they are also found ineveryday items, such as medicines, plastics, and clothing

With rising global energy demand, the oil and gas industry has a wide

range of challenges and opportunities.

There are numerous areas in which nanotechnology can contribute to

More-efficient Less-expensive More-environmentally sound technologies than those that are readily available.

Nanotechnology can make the industry considerably greener.

Micro and nano technologies have the potential to introduce revolutionary changes

in several areas of the oil and gas industry% such as exploration% drilling and

completion activities % production% enhanced oil recovery% refining and distribution.
