Cellulose nanoparticles are attracting interest in diverse fields because of their availability, low cost, and benign nature. Albeit previous studies have reported excellent experimental results, the application of cellulose nanoparticles in oilfield remains a challenge. Therefore, the objective of this research is to provide vital information on how to design cellulose nanoparticles for oilfield applications. Herein, the sources of cellulose and their derivatives were presented. Subsequently, cellulose pretreatment and extraction methods were elucidated. Likewise, the design of cellulose nanoparticles for oilfield applications were discussed. Also, the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) mechanisms of cellulose nanoparticles for high temperature high pressure (HTHP) reservoirs were identified and their application in EOR was reviewed. The challenges hindering full scale field application of cellulose nanoparticles were presented while concurrently shedding light on diverse methodologies employed to maintain their stability in HTHP oil reservoirs. The results indicate that wettability alteration, asphaltene precipitation, interfacial tension and viscosity reduction are the dominant EOR mechanisms by cellulose bionanomaterials, it also demonstrate that cellulose bionanomaterials can increase the viscosity of injected fluidby 10–100%, improve sweep efficiency by 52–98% and improve oil recovery by 10–35% original oil in place. It can be concluded that bionanomaterial have potential for oil field applications and are economically viable due to their high recovery rate.
