The tertiary oil recovery methods or enhanced oi recovery (EOR) allow a recovery factor up to 70 percent. The injection of anionic surfactants, widely used in chemical EOR, could become unfeasible due to losses after precipitation, diffusion to the interior of non-connected pores and specially adsorption over reservoir rock surface. This work aimed to modify the surface of silica nanoparticles with alkoxysilanes in order to be used as surfactant nanocarriers in chemical EOR, reducing surfactant loss by adsorption. Characterization techniques were employed to confirm the modifications on silica surface, obtaining degrees of modification between 11 and 14 percent. The attachment of alkyl groups (C8 and C16) on the silica surface raised significantly the interaction with an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), in comparison to bare silica nanoparticles, increasing up to 11x the amount of adsorbed surfactant over silica s surface. The hybrid nanomaterials obtained in this work have a high capacity to keep the tensoactive in aqueous solutions and brine, as well as releasing it at the brine/oil interface. Finally, the modified silica nanoparticles containing surfactant adsorbed on their surface showed a synergy in reducing interfacial tension, without affecting the surfactant performance after the release at the water/oil interface. Thus, the nanoparticles modified with alkoxysilanes obtained in this work can act as surfactant nanocarriers in injection fluids for chemical EOR.
