Synergetic Effect of Nano-Particle Synthesized from the Bran of Rice with Petroleum for Enhancing Crude Oil Physical Properties

Abstract

This study modified zinc oxide nanoparticles using rice bran. Rice bran is crucial for zinc oxide nanoparticle production. Finally, XRD and SEM investigations verified nanoparticle production quality. Photos showed the synthesized organic zinc oxide nano-particles' surface uniformity. Afterwards, medium and light crud oils were treated with customized nanoparticles at varying weight percentages. At pressures from 10 to 300 bar, injection was done at 30-150 C. Adding rice bran to the adhesion force of light or medium crud oil molecules modified organic zinc oxide nanoparticles. Both the light and medium crud oil samples showed a rise in thermal conductivity from 0.19 to 2.45 W/m C and 1.61 to 6.45 W/m C, respectively, as the working temperature was raised. Findings showed that asphaltene precipitation % fell as crud oil API grew. Nano-light and medium crud oil had more asphaltene precipitation than basic light and medium crud oil. Nanoparticles improved reservoir crud oil recovery. Compared to normal light crud oil, light crud oil nanoparticles reduce asphaltene precipitation by 28.3%. Compared to simple medium crud oil, this is an 8.1% increase.
