Abstract
Evaluating enhanced oil recovery methods by identifying a first nanofluidic device associated with a reservoir rock formation and saturated with a target fluid, directing the injection of a secondary recovery fluid into the first nanofluidic device, determining a target fluid secondary recovery saturation level associated with injection of the secondary recovery fluid into the first nanofluidic device, identifying a second nanofluidic device associated with the reservoir rock formation and saturated with the target fluid, directing the injection of a tertiary recovery fluid into the second nanofluidic device, determining a target fluid tertiary recovery saturation level associated with the injection of the tertiary recovery fluid into the second nanofluidic device, determining a target fluid production efficiency associated with the tertiary recovery fluid, and providing the target fluid production efficiency to a user.
