... microemulsion solution has an ultra-low interfacial tension property that helps with the diffusion of the project into the rock matrix and lead to solubilizing the oil in the filter cake emulsion while converting the solids and surfaces in a water-wet state. geology drilling fluid management...

... temperature and pH enabled better emulsion flocculation and flotation. Salinity impairs flocculant activation and the performance of flotation system. Nanobubbles enhance flotation and flocculation at high NaCl concentrations. We propose a "hungry black hole" model for nanobubbles effects in flocculation...

... Abstract New chemistries are needed to address the negative environmental impact of currently used demulsifier (DMO) formulations especially when used offshore to separate water from crude oil emulsions. The goal of the study was to synthesize new eco-friendly molecules with targeted...

... in an enhanced sweep efficiency to displace more crude oil. Furthermore, the HAPAM/AS formulation exhibited strong emulsification to facilitate the formation of low-viscosity oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions to further enhance the flowable capacity of the crude oil, the O/W emulsion droplets can flow easily to pass...

Abstract Utilizing a surfactant solution to create an emulsion...

... epoxy resin is used in this development. The mechanism by which the emulsified epoxy works for sand consolidation is that upon injecting the chemical into the sand formation, the emulsion breaks into the resin which has affinity to the silica surface to cement the sand grains together, and water which...

... Viscous emulsions are produced as oil and water are transported from the reservoir through the production infrastructure as a result of the shear forces exerted on the fluids by process restrictions. As fields mature and water cuts in wells increase so does the viscosity of the produced fluids...

... The performance of a VR in heavy oil viscosity reduction depends on many factors, such as temperature, salinity of reservoir water, water content, shear conditions, initial viscosity of the heavy oil, composition of the heavy oil, and even the way in which the oil-water emulsion is prepared...

... Abstract Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion could be formed during the transportation, refining, and storage of crude oils. In the stockpiling tanks, the emulsion and sludge formation were observed by storing of crude oils for a long period of time and cleaning of tanks. It has been reported...
