... facilities before they are built. The paper also discusses some practical aspects of demulsifier treatment program including demulsifier selection and optimization and methods to prevent emulsion problems. Production Chemistry Upstream Oil & Gas chemical treatment emulsion sample crude...

... to mitigate carbonate scaling – with squeeze lifetimes of over ten years. Based on the link between scale and tight emulsions, this program was accelerated and scale treatments were performed on emulsion ‘problem’ wells to suppress solids formation and therefore reduce/ eliminate emulsion problems. The paper...

... of different demulsifiers, demulsifier dosage, additives and dispersants, temperature, shear, watercut, mixing Arab oil, and inorganic solids. Results Stability of Wellhead Samples. One of the important emulsion problems is related to the increase in water production from Berri field over the past...

... significantly reduce the demulsification rate or increase the demulsifier dosage. Several gas-oil separating plants (GOSPs) in Saudi Aramco have been experiencing such problems. The paper discusses the emulsion problem in these GOSPs. Several asphaltene dispersants and surfactants were evaluated...

... in estimated reserves of about 1 million barrels of oil, even though fewer acidizing jobs were done, and the jobs were begun later in the year. This paper describes how this improvement was achieved in just 1 year. P. 451 asphaltene inhibition acid return emulsion problem inhibitor production...
