Silicon dioxide nanofluids with low-salinity brines for interfacial tension and wettability control in enhanced oil recovery

Hybrid SiO 2 –low-salinity flooding tunes interfacial chemistry to push IFT below 5 mN m −1 , shift contact angles by >40°, and yield ≥10% additional oil recovery in sandstone and carbonate cores with minimal permeability loss.
