Petroleum emulsions

In regular oilfield emulsions, the dispersed aqueous phase is usually called sediment and water (S W) and the continuous phase is crude oil. The dispersed S W phase is essentially saline water, but different types of solids such as sand, mud, scale, eorrosion resi dues, or precipitates are often present and ean partiei pate in flie meeh-anisms of stabilization of emulsions. Petroleum emulsions vary from one field to another beeause etude oils differ by their geological age, ehe mieal composition, and associated impurities, and furthermore, the water exhibits physical and chemical properties that are also specific to each reservoir. Neverflieless, all fields have in common the fact that a great number of emulsifying agents are present in the fluids produced (48) ...
