Chapter 4: Two-Phase Oil and Gas Separation | GlobalSpec
Gases evolve from the liquids and the well stream changes in character. The velocity of the gas carries liquid droplets, and the liquid carries gas bubbles. The physical separation of these phases is one of the basic operations in the production, processing, and treatment of oil and gas. In oil and gas separator design, we mechanically separate ...

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 ...

The Effect of Dispersed Phase Salinity on Water-in-Oil Emulsion Flow
In this work, the effect of brine salinity on water-in-oil emulsion flow performance in porous media is studied as it imposes a significant challenge to oil production in the petroleum industry. A crude oil sample from an Iranian oilfield and synthetic brine with different salinities (40–140 g/L salt) are used. The results show that …

The processing of crude oil often requires the extraction of a large amount of water. Frequently, crude oil is mixed with water to form water-in-crude oil emulsions as the result of factors such as high shear at the production wellhead and surface-active substances that are naturally present in crude oil. These emulsions are undesirable …

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 …
