• A passive water tracer moves only with the water
• Phase-partitioning tracer distributes betweeen water and oil
• At residual oil saturation water moves, oil is (close to) stagnant

What is a nanoparticle (NP)?
General answer:A piece of matter with sizes (diameter, length, width) in the nanometer range (1 nm = 10-9 m).Here:Spherical particles in the 2-100 nm range.

A nanoparticle with diameter 10 nmwill, in this perspective, have the sizeof a real tennis ball
