The synergistic potential of using graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets and hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) as GO enhanced polymer hybrid (GOeP) for enhancing oil recovery (EOR) purposes has drawn attention. However, the hybridization method and stability of GOeP have not been comprehensively studied. To cover this gap, the current study evaluates the stability of GOeP under different conditions, including temperatures such as 60 and 80 °C, high and low salinities, and the presence of Mg ions (6430 and 643 ppm).
