原油乳状液破乳的动态法研究

The stability of different crude oil emulsions from ASP flooding production well is studied by the method of a stirred tank. The demulsifying of crude-oil emulsion by different demulsifying agents is discussed. The breakage of the crude oil emulsions from the well PO11 by the different types and concentrations of the emulsifying agents is also discussed. The breaking mechanism of the demulsifying agent is described microscopically.     

DEMULSIFICATION OF WATER IN OIL EMULSIONS USING WATER SOLUBLE DEMULSIFIERS

The possibility of using a water soluble,as opposed to the conventional oil soluble demulsifier, to destabilize a w/o emulsion in crude oil has been explored. It was found experimentally that a surfactant soluble in the water (dispersed) phase could destabilize the emulsion. Polymer molecules with varying HLB's and molecular weights and structure were synthesized and these compounds were added to the water phase to destabilize the water/crude oil emulsions. Molecules with a high percentage of hydrophilic groups and low molecular weights showed very good demulsifying abilities.     

Water-in-Oil Emulsions Stabilized by Asphaltenes Obtained from Venezuelan Crude Oils

W/O emulsions were studied using asphaltenes as surfactants. Asphaltenes were obtained from three Venezuelan crude oils: “Lago Cinco,” “Rosa Mediano,” and “Ayacucho.” They were extracted using n-heptane as a precipitanting agent. The following variables were studied: concentration of asphaltenes in the oleic phase and pH of the aqueous phase. An increase in asphaltene concentration in the oleic phase increases emulsion stability. On the other hand, the most stable emulsions correspond to an alkaline aqueous phase. Likewise, emulsion stability was higher for asphaltenes obtained from “Lago Cinco” crude oil and lowest from Rosa Mediano asphaltenes.     

Experimental study on high-pressure rheology of water/crude oil emulsion in the presence of methane

The crude oil is in most cases accompanied with water and natural gas. For this reason, it is important to understand the rheology of the oil emulsion. There are already many works relating to rheology of the oil/water emulsion. However, studies on high-pressure rheology of water/crude oil emulsion in the presence of CH₄ are rare. In this work, light crude oil with characteristics of high wax content, which is typical in Northwest China, was studied. The rheology of water/crude oil emulsion in the presence of CH₄ under various conditions were fully studied. The results show that the crude oil emulsion showed obvious characteristics of non-Newtonian fluid at a lower temperature. Before water fraction reached a certain limit, the viscosity increases with the increase of water fraction, when water fraction reaches and exceeds the limit the emulsion viscosity drops with the increase of water fraction. The shear stress–shear rate curves become similar as the increase of temperature, indicating the decreasing effect of temperature on the relation between shear stress and shear rate. When the pressure reaches 8 MPa, the shear stress measured with CH₄ in the system surpasses that measured without CH₄. At higher pressure, CH₄ shows obvious influence on the rheology.

Water pH and surfactant addition effects on the stability of an Algerian crude oil emulsion

In many oil production sites water injection is used as a piston to push the crude out of the well. As the age of the field progresses, the ratio of water to oil produced increases. Agitation of a water and crude oil mixture may give stable water-in-oil emulsion in which the water remains dispersed for a long period of time. These emulsions can cause severe problems in production and transport processes since they normally possess high stability and viscosity. The most important water properties which may contribute to the emulsion stability include pH and additive content. In this study, we report on the effect of both, water pH and the presence of surfactant molecules (anionic, cationic or non-ionic) on the stability of an Algerian crude oil (Haoudh el Hamra well) aqueous emulsion prepared by a mechanical agitation procedure. The stability was followed by the test-bottle method to measure the resolved water separated from the emulsion, and optical microscopy to visualize the dispersed water droplets in the oil phase. The results of the effects of varying the aqueous-phase pH suggest that the neutral medium is more efficient than acidic or basic environment for stabilizing the emulsions. The addition of non-ionic surfactants has a better potential to improve crude oil emulsion stability with respect to both cationic and anionic surfactants which do not show any improvement in the oil/water phase compatibility.     

Experimental Investigation on Yield Stress of Water-in-Heavy Crude Oil Emulsions in Order to Improve Pipeline Flow

An experimental study on yield stress of water-in-heavy crude oil emulsions has been carried out by using a HAAKE RS6000 Rheometer with a vane-type rotor. Several factors such as oil volume fraction, shear rate, temperature, and emulsifying agent on the yield stress of emulsions were investigated. Zero shear viscosity of heavy crude oil was 6000 mPas at 30°C, with a density 955 kg/m³. This study shows that the yield stress increases linearly with the increasing shear rate, and displays an exponential decay with increasing the temperature and oil volume fraction. Although the addition of emulsifying agent enhanced the stability of the emulsion, to some extent it also increased the yield stress, especially for the emulsions with high oil volume fractions. Therefore, to reduce the start-up force for the pipeline transport of water-in-heavy crude oil emulsions, the starting rate should be decreased, temperature increased, or oil volume fraction increased. These results are helpful to improve the transportation of water-in-heavy crude oil in pipeline.      

Laminar Flow Emulsification Process to Control the Viscosity Reduction of Heavy Crude Oils

The formation of heavy crude oil in water (O/W) emulsion by a low energy laminar controlled flow has been investigated. The emulsion was prepared in an eccentric cylinder mixer. Its geometry allows the existence of chaotic flows that are able to mix well highly viscous fluids. This new mixer design is used to produce high internal phase ratio emulsions for three oils: castor oil and two heavy crude oils of different initial viscosity (Zuata and Athabasca crude oils). The influence of the stirring conditions, geometrical parameters, and water volume fraction on the rheological properties of the resulting O/W emulsion is studied.     

Evaluation of Water-in-Crude-Oil Emulsion Stability Using Critical Electric Field: Effect of Emulsion Preparation Procedure and Crude Oil Properties

The critical electrical field has been used as a tool to probe water in crude emulsion stability to electrical fields in many previous studies. Given the increasing importance of this metric, this study investigates factors that are important to the reproducibility of the measurement and the effect of emulsion preparation variables on the critical electric field. It was observed that the emulsion preparation procedure has a strong effect on the measured critical electric field due to droplet size effects. Furthermore, the effect of crude oil properties on the critical electric field was investigated using emulsions from different oils but with the same average droplet diameter, where it was found that the measurement was dominated by crude oil viscosity.
