In the mixed transportation pipeline, the crude oil–water two-phase system tends to form an emulsion, which has an apparent effect on the flow characteristics of the multiphase flow. 1−3 When the water cut of the system is low, the mixture of crude oil and water is completely emulsified and generally forms a stable W/O emulsion; however ...
A temperature change may yield the inversion phase, as oil-in-water emulsions tend to occur at low temperatures and water-in-oil emulsions are characteristic of higher temperatures (Fernandez et al., 2004).Provoking the system's temperature transition throughout a known threshold of minimum surface tension and associated null …

1. Introduction. For over a century, crude oil has been the primary energy source driving the global economy, existing in the form of hydrocarbons (Adam et al., 2020; Hassan et al., 2021, 2022a, 2022b, 2023).Due to rapid population growth, our world has become excessively reliant on energy reserves for both domestic and industrial needs, …
Water and crude oil emulsions can be produced during oilfield operations. Since most oilfields are in the secondary or tertiary recovery stages, the amount of produced water is not negligible. Furthermore, enhanced oil recovery makes use of surfactants injection (chemical substances that lower the surface tension of the liquid) …
The catastrophic phase inversion process of model emulsions (water/Span 80-Tween 80/heptane) from oil-in-water to water-in-oil emulsion was investigated.

1. Introduction. It is well known that water-in-oil emulsions with stabilized water droplets constitute a process problem for crude oil exploration offshore [1, 2].The emulsions need to be resolved in order to separate oil and water and the maximum allowed water content in the export crude oil phase is 0.5 wt%.
The API of this oil is 21, and the constituents of the oil are in Table 2.. The present study involved preparing a brine using various types of salts in order to form water–oil emulsions.

A number of technologies can be applied to destabilize emulsions, to meet the export specifications of maximum 0.3% water-in-oil and 10 lbs per thousand barrels (PTB) of total dissolved salts in the crude oil. Among those technologies, electrocoalescence has the potential to reduce heating which is energy intensive.
From a purely thermodynamic point of view, an emulsion is an unstable system because there is a natural tendency for a liquid/liquid system to separate and reduce its interfacial area and, hence, its interfacial energy.However, most emulsions demonstrate kinetic stability (i.e., they are stable over a period of time). Produced oilfield …
A metering skid is a part of production plant/system that is pre-assembled on a steel structure, engaged to the measurement of gas/liquid products. It can be installed at the onshore or offshore location based on the requirement. Although several process parameters are measured, the primary variable to be measured is the flow rate. …
