Several fronts like improved drilling, completions and well stimulation and interventionrequires technological advancements for Increasing recovery from existing reservoirs and from new sources.
These advancements are being made possible due to recent development in nanotechnology,biochemistry,material science etc. The whole E& P cycle has various active areas for development of smart fluids, which are emerging as potential solutions for well remediation for improving recovery and enhancing productivity.These smart fluids don’tbehave as the conventional fluids but smartly on the application.In the E & P industry these fluids canmake well treatment solutions smarter and deliver the objective of enhancing well productivity and increasing recovery from the fields.
Various fluids which are being used for potential application to its specific role are discussed in the paper.
