Nanomaterials and their associated manufacturing and processing technologies are the key enablers of nanotechnology industry and encompass a wide range of materials. Nanomaterials typically measure in the range of 1 to 100 nanometer (nm). This means clusters of atoms or grains less than 100 nm in size, fibers less than 100 nm in diameters and films with thickness less than 100 nm. Because of high costs and greater risk of adopting new technologies, the application in oil and gas industry has not been fully discovered. However, the quest for efficiency in the current economic situation has been the drilling force behind the development of new technologies.
