- Additional information
- This paper results from a substantial international and industrial collaboration with Statoil (now Equinor) in Norway that was the first to establish the potential of a new ‘Nanotechnology Assisted Squeeze Treatment’ process to improve oil well protection from mineral scaling. The paper underpinned two follow-on post-doctoral projects and two further PhD projects at Leeds, funded by the company, and inspired researchers in Malaysia funded by rival PETRONAS to explore a very similar variant ‘Nanocarbon-based Enhanced Squeeze Treatment’ (https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/458/1/012044).
