The processing of crude oil often requires the extraction of a large amount of water. Frequently, crude oil is mixed with water to form water-in-crude oil emulsions as the result of factors such as high shear at the production wellhead and surface-active substances that are naturally present in crude oil. These emulsions are undesirable …

Dynamic flow response of crude oil-in-water emulsion during flow …
To understand emulsion flooding recovery mechanisms, the concept of ganglia dynamics [8] can be adopted. As illustrated in Fig. 1, emulsion drops can be trapped in pore throats and to mobilize them, a certain local critical capillary number should be attained.At the critical capillary number, viscous forces, i.e. drag forces produced by …
Effects of paraffin wax content and test temperature on the …
1. Introduction. Water-in-crude oil (W/O) emulsion is frequently encountered at the wellhead of oilfields. The formation of the emulsion is achieved because of the immiscibility of the two liquids, the shearing exerted by the flowing fluids in oil reservoirs and the presence of native emulsifiers in the crude oil.

Hydrate formation from high water content-crude oil emulsions
Emulsifying 60 vol% salt water with Conroe oil (on a salt free basis) formed a W/O emulsion as measured by the low relative conductivity (≈ 0.35 V) in the system. The relatively dense packing of droplets seen in the PVM images also suggested that water was the dispersed phase; dense packing implies that the higher phase content water (60 …

Sampling and Analysis of Crude Oils for Water Content
the water all play a part in determining which emulsion phase exists and when the emulsions will change to a different phase. The oil continuous phase at high water percentages before inversion occurs becomes a very high viscosity liquid. Viscosity is a physical property and is analogous to the "stickiness" of the liquid. A. Oil continuous ...
