Abstract:

During the crude oil production, water-in-oil stable emulsions may be created. Water which is naturally present in oil reservoirs mixes with crude oil to form very stable emulsions due to very high shear rates and zones of turbulence encountered at the wellhead and pipe of production. The formation of these emulsions is generally caused by the presence of resins, asphaltenes, wax and naphtenic acid which play the role of "natural emulsifiers. The aim of this study was to focus on some important factors in the formation and stabilize crude oil/water emulsions. These factors are the water conten

Abstract:

The extraction and collection of crude oil will result in the formation of numerous complex emulsions, which will not only decrease crude oil production, raise the cost of extraction and storage, and worsen pipeline equipment loss, but also seriously pollute the environment because the oil in the emulsion can fill soil pores, lower the soil’s permeability to air and water, and create an oil film on the water’s surface to prevent air–water contact. At present, a variety of demulsification technologies have been developed, such as physical, chemical, biological and other new emulsion breaking te

Abstract:

One of the primary challenges in the oil industry is the formation of stable crude oil emulsions, which cause equipment and pipeline corrosion due to the inorganic salts dissolved in the aqueous phase. This study investigated the effect of coal fly ash on model crude oil emulsions. The model emulsions were prepared using crude oil samples from the Kyzylorda and Atyrau regions. Thermal demulsification at 60°C resulted in a low dewatering rate, with only 16% of water separated from a 50% water-in-oil emulsion. Higher efficiency in oil emulsion separation was observed using the microwave treatmen

ABSTRACT The onset of water-in-oil emulsion formation in an oil slick often signals the closing of the window of opportunity for in-situ burning as a countermeasure. Water contents in excess of 25 percent in a stable emulsion generally preclude ignition of the slick. A study of in-situ burning of water-in-oil emulsions formed by weathered Alaska North Slope (ANS) crude oil has recently been completed by Alaska Clean Seas. The study consisted of three phases: laboratory-scale burns in Ottawa in a 0.13 m2 burn ring, small-scale burns in Prudhoe Bay in 1.2 m2 and 3.3 m2 pans, and meso-scale burns

Emulsions can be found in different industries such as petroleum, food, cosmetic and pharmaceutics. Generally, there are two types of emulsions in petroleum industries: water-in-oil (W/O) and oil-in-water (O/W).

All the emulsions were prepared at (20-80) vol% and 2000 rpm. The result of this study showed that the most stable emulsions were prepared by Span 80. However, LSWR formed the most uns

Abstract:

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 and require demulsification to remove the dispersed water and associated inorganic salts in order to meet production and transportation specifications. Additionally, the demulsification of these crude oil emulsions mitigates corrosion and catalyst poisoning and

When spilled crude oil emulsifies, it becomes viscous and expands in volume, becoming more difficult to recover, chemically disperse, or ignite. The ability to better predict the emulsion-forming behavior of a specific crude oil would greatly aid oil spill response decisions. The problem is complex because of the various stabilizing mechanisms.

Abstract:

Water and oil emulsion formation is a natural process that takes place during oil recovery and processing. Heavy oils of Kazakhstan form highly stable oil emulsions mostly stabilized by a high content of asphaltenes, resins, and other surface-active components. Oil-in-water emulsions initiate the corrosion of equipment and cause transportation issues. Dewatering of oil emulsions is economically reasonable and requires universal techniques which could be applied to any sort of oil. In this study, the chemical composition of crude oil from the Sarybulak oilfield was determined, and commercial de

Abstract Pickering emulsions have attracted extensive attention due to their good properties including easy to manufacture, high stability, and superparamagnetic response. To improve the emulsifying transportation of crude oil, a Pickering emulsion of crude oil and water stabilized by Fe3O4 nanoparticles was prepared and its rheological properties were tested in this research. It was found that the particle size of dispersion droplet polymerization group in stable crude oil Pickering emulsion is negatively correlated with solid content and water content, and the equilibrium apparent viscosity

Polymer membranes often face challenges of oil fouling and rapid water flux decline during the separation of oil-in-water emulsions, making them a focal point of ongoing research and development efforts. Coating PVDF membranes with a hydrogel layer equips the developed membranes with robust potential to mitigate oil fouling. However, developing a controllable thickness of a stable hydrogel layer to prevent the blocking of membrane pores remains a critical issue. In this work, atmospheric pressure low-temperature plasma was used to prepare the surface of a PVDF membrane to improve its wettabili

Flow assurance is one of the main challenges in the oil industry. Many factors can affect the oil fluidity, including the oil °API and the formation of water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions that increase the fluid viscosity. The demulsification process aims to decrease as much as possible the water content in the crude oil. Chemical products known as demulsifiers can be used to aid in this process. In laboratory, the chemicals can be evaluated under temperature and water content conditions similar to those in the oil field.

The production of crude oil is accompanied by emulsified water production, which comes along with various challenges like corroding the transport systems and catalysts poisoning during petroleum refining in the downstream. Several process variables are believed to affect the ease with which emulsified water can be separated from emulsions. Some of the issues have not been extensively examined in the literature.

Asphaltenes are heavy petroleum crude oil components which limit the production of petroleum crude oil due to their aggregation and their stabilization for all petroleum crude oil water emulsions. The present study aimed to modify the chemical structures of isolated asphaltenes by converting them into amphiphilic polymers containing ionic liquid moieties (PILs) to demulsify the emulsion and replace the asphaltene layers surrounding the oil or water droplets in petroleum crude oil emulsions. The literature survey indicated that no modification occurred to produce the PILs from the asphaltenes.
