N2 - The present study provides a comprehensive examination of GO-HPAM polymeric nanocomposite, contributing significantly to enhanced oil recovery (EOR). At the core of this investigation are a series of experimental tests and validations of simulations. The study examines the bonding effects, structural integrity, morphological interconnections, and stability of the GO-HPAM. The significance of reservoir and in-situ fluid conditions in the effort to improve EOR The GO-HPAM stabilization composite was developed, assessed, and examined for its extended core-flooding capabilities owing to its high energy characteristics. The simulation model was built on a Cartesian grid with fixed values for the bulk volume, injection rate, well completion, and rock-fluid properties using ANSYS Fluent. During the flooding experiment, the injections of 2 PV of brine, 0.50 PV of GO-HPAM, and 2 PV of chase water were precursors. The findings showed that 19.67% of the original oil could be recovered after injecting the nanocomposite fluid consisting of GO-HPAM. The GO-HPAM flooding gathered over 60% more oil than the traditional EOR polymer. Moreover, numerical modeling demonstrated a performance of the GO-HPAM combination comparable to the experimental results. The proposed synergetic fluid will assist researchers and industrialists in the design of an EOR process.
