Sampling and Analysis of Crude Oils for Water Content
the water all play a part in determining which emulsion phase exists and when the emulsions will change to a different phase. The oil continuous phase at high water percentages before inversion occurs becomes a very high viscosity liquid. Viscosity is a physical property and is analogous to the "stickiness" of the liquid. A. Oil continuous ...

Stability and Destabilization of Water-in-Crude Oil Emulsion
The crude oil recovered from oil wells is in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion. Approximately two-thirds of the world's crude is found in emulsion form that must be treated before being marketed [].Emulsions generally consist of two immiscible liquids : one acts as a continuous phase and the other as a dispersed phase which is …

Crude oil emulsion: A review on formation
Emulsion can be defined as a system, whereby one immiscible liquid phase is dispersed as globules (dispersed phase) in the second phase of immiscible liquid (continuous phase) (Lim et al., 2015).There are three types of emulsions: they are, water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion, oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion and multiple emulsion.

Hydrate formation from high water content-crude oil emulsions
Emulsifying 60 vol% salt water with Conroe oil (on a salt free basis) formed a W/O emulsion as measured by the low relative conductivity (≈ 0.35 V) in the system. The relatively dense packing of droplets seen in the PVM images also suggested that water was the dispersed phase; dense packing implies that the higher phase content water (60 …
