    2. Introduction How can nanotechnology help the oil and gas industry? First, let’s identify the problems: Drilling equipment tends to wear down fairly quickly Normally, oil wells are only able to recover about 1 out of every 3 barrels of oil from a reservoir Current Seismic technology cannot produce high enough resolution data about the oil reservoir With peak oil fast approaching, there is a definite need to be able to fully utilize all of the resources that are available
