... Abstract An assessment was conducted to showcase different innovative strategies and operating practices to tackle the increasing water cut and tight emulsion at one of the upstream Gas Oil Separation Plant (GOSP) at low to no cost. Also, this innovative strategy will reduce the crude carbon...

... Abstract Emulsions are common during oil production, and this is the case of the Peregrino field, e.g. . In several fields, oil and reservoir fluids can be produced through Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP) and the formation of emulsion affects the ESP system, its run life, and the production...

Studies performed using a prototype stage allowed visualization and evaluation of oil drops dynamics inside the impeller in different rotational speeds...

... Abstract Understanding emulsion evolution at static conditions is crucial for pipeline operations during shut-in and startup and separator optimal design. This study experimentally investigated the temporal and spatial evolution of oil-water emulsion characteristics at static conditions, which...

...-in-oil emulsions due to their high interfacial activity. The surfactant-like behavior of asphaltenes is directly related to their aggregation state. Asphaltenes are strong interfacial agents when in a colloidal aggregation state, but weak interfacial agents when either precipitated or well dispersed...

.... Hydrocarbon entrainment in Produced Water or Rich MEG is often the result of process conditions that favour emulsion formation and/or hinder emulsion separation. Consequently there is a need to look at the process and equipment design employed, along the flow path that the hydrocarbon/aqueous phase travels...
