Interfacial tension reduction and wettability alteration using metal oxide nanoparticles to reduce condensate banking

摘要

Treating a gas condensate reservoir having a porous formation material includes introducing a formation treatment fluid to the gas condensate reservoir and maintaining the formation treatment fluid in the gas condensate reservoir. The formation treatment fluid is a dispersion including metal oxide nanoparticles, and the gas condensate reservoir includes discrete portions of condensate in contact with the porous formation material.
