Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in a Dynamic Flux: Magnetic Hyperthermia Effect on Flowing Heavy Crude Oil
[Image: see text] An essential part for crude oil extraction is flow assurance, being critical to maintain a financially sustainable flow while getting the petroleum to the surface. When not well managed, it can develop into a significant issue for the O&G industry. By heating the fluids, proble...

[Image: see text] An essential part for crude oil extraction is flow assurance, being critical to maintain a financially sustainable flow while getting the petroleum to the surface. When not well managed, it can develop into a significant issue for the O&G industry. By heating the fluids, problems with flow assurance, including paraffin deposition, asphaltene, and methane hydrate, can be reduced. Also, as the temperature rises, a liquid’s viscosity decreases. Research focusing on the application of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) in the oil industry is very recent. When magnetic nanofluids are exposed to an alternating magnetic field, the viscosity decreases by several orders of magnitude as a result of the fluid’s temperature rising due to a phenomenon known as magnetic hyperthermia.
