Australian Nanotechnology to Revolutionise Oil Production

Nanotechnology to help extract more petrol from oil fields has been developed by researchers from The University of Queensland’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN).

With oil companies forced to leave behind as much as two barrels for every barrel of oil they produce, this revolutionary technology could help reduce the cost of supplying petrol to the market.
“Our process enables the reversible and controllable making and breaking of an emulsion or foam, in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. For example, Pepfactants
