Abstract Recently, the polymer-nanoparticle combination has garnered significant interest in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) due to its promising experimental results. However, previous research was mostly directed at silica, while alumina and zirconia nanoparticles have gotten least consideration. Unlike works, this study aims investigate influence of three NPs: Silica (SiO 2 ), Alumina (Al O 3 Zirconia (ZrO ) on hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM). To end, nanocomposites were formulated: HPAM-SiO , HPAM-Al HPAM-ZrO . Rheological evaluations performed examine viscosity degradation HPAM under reservoir conditions. Furthermore, interfacial tension (IFT) oil–water interface wettability studies investigated. Moreover, sand-pack flooding incremental recovery. The results revealed that polymer boosted by 110%, 45%, 12% for respectively investigation range temperature. improved 73%, 48%, salinity. Nanocomposites are also found be a remarkable agent reducing changing contact angle. experiments confirmed EOR HPAM, 8.6%, 17.4%, 15.3%, 13.6% OOIP respectively. well validated matched numerical simulation. Such findings work afford new insights into reinforce outlook such technique field scale.
