... Abstract Waterless emulsions and foams can serve as hydraulic fracturing fluids to eliminate the need for water and reduce permeability damage in water-sensitive formations. Viscous, completely water-free, high pressure liquid CO 2 -in-oil (C/O) emulsions, N 2 -in-oil (N/O) foams and methane...

...-in-oil emulsions. We synthesized different brine systems starting from deionized water using two different salts, NaCl and CaCl 2 at 8.55, 85.5 and 855 mMol/L. We quantified the stability of the emulsion using both gravimetric and centrifuge methods. We measured the variation in the viscosity...

..., the formation of water-soluble oil emulsions has been reported as a possible reason to explain the observed increase in oil recovery using smart water. The formation of water-soluble oil emulsions takes place on the interaction of insoluble salts (fines) with oils. However, the interaction of these fines...

... cannot satisfy such fracking jobs because of the massive proppant loading, high flow rate and large volume of the fluids used. To address these issues, a crosslinking-free and rapid-dissolution fracturing fluid system based on synthetic hydrophobically associating polymer (HAP) "water-in-oil" emulsion...

... Abstract The investigation of the hydrate formation in water-in-oil emulsions with dissolved wax is significant to mitigate hydrate risk with the development of deep water gas filed. Experiments are designed by using high-pressure stirred reactor to simulate hydrate formation under high...

... The formation of crude oil emulsion is a serious challenge in the petroleum industry as it can corrode upstream equipment and also cause catalyst poisoning in the downstream. Thus, efficient and effective water removal from the emulsion becomes very necessary while substantial water removal...

... Abstract Understanding the behavior of water-in-crude-oil emulsions is necessary to determine its effect on oil and gas production. The presence of emulsions in any part of the production system could cause many problems such as large pressure drop in pipelines due to its high viscosity...

... of Crude oil Abstract Experiments were performed to simulate the wax deposition in the flow of water in crude oil emulsions in subsea pipelines using a flow facility. Two water in crude-oil emulsions (Samples A & B) synthesize from two crude oil samples and their respective formation water from...

...Abstract Abstract Emulsions are formed during crude oil production due to the presence of natural surfactants and brine in the petroleum fluids. In addition, turbulence wich the produced fluids are subjected to, either initiated by differential pressure in the drawdown region near the wellbore...

... Abstract Water-in-crude oil emulsions are formed as a result of high shear stresses at the flow restrictions such as choke valves and the wellhead during crude oil transport with produced water. Consequently, the produced water disperses in the crude oil forming droplets that are stabilized...

... in producing oil/water emulsion after EOR breakthrough. The largest waste produced in oil and gas industries is believed to be the produced water, as it contains different sort of organic and inorganic admixture. There are a number of treatment methods available for produced water. To separate water from oil...
