This invention provides a method for preparing a high-salinity zinc oxide-resistant nanofluid mediated by Halomonas sp. and its application in enhancing oil recovery. Specifically, it includes: a Halomonas sp. strain CDH-2, with accession number CCTCC NO: M 2025786, which can rapidly grow in high-concentration salt solutions and produce salt-resistant extracellular metabolites. Fermenting and culturing CDH-2 under high-salt conditions yields a fermentation broth with a surface tension below 30 mN / m. Mixing and culturing the obtained fermentation broth with a metal precursor solution yields a high-salinity-resistant metal nanofluid. The resulting metal nanofluid maintains good stable dispersibility in high-salinity water and effectively reduces oil-water interfacial tension. It alters the wettability of oil-wetting surfaces, emulsifies and disperses crude oil, and reduces crude oil viscosity. Therefore, it can be used as an enhanced oil recovery agent in high-salt reservoirs and is widely applied in oilfield flooding, well huff and puff, and heavy oil viscosity reduction.
