Petroleum industry emulsion drilling fluid

Emulsions may be encountered throughout all stages of the process industries. For example, in the petroleum industry (see Chapter 11) both desirable and undesirable emulsions permeate the entire production cycle, including emulsion drilling fluid, injected or in situ emulsions used in enhanced oil-recovery processes, wellhead production emulsions, pipeline transportation emulsions, and refinery process emulsions [2], Such emulsions may contain not just oil and water, but also solid particles and even gas, as occur in the large Canadian oil sands mining and processing operations [2-4],... [Pg.224]

Suspensions are created at an early stage of processes used to separate valuable minerals or oil by froth flotation (Chapter 10). Suspensions are also quite important and widespread in the petroleum industry (Chapter 11) and, like emulsions and foams, suspensions may be encountered throughout each of the stages of petroleum recovery and processing (in reservoirs, drilling fluids, production fluids, process-... [Pg.228]
