A New Approach of Crude Oil Demulsification
Author(s): Orkhan Nabizada* and Anvar Movsumzada
This study investigates and proposes a novel approach for crude oil demulsification by employing a laboratory-scale reservoir model designed to simulate real reservoir conditions. Two distinct injection scenarios were examined to evaluate the effectiveness of chemical-assisted demulsification. In the first case, conventional produced water was utilized as the injected fluid to serve as a baseline for comparison. In the second scenario, the produced water was blended with varying concentrations of a selected chemical demulsifier and then injected into the reservoir model. This comparative approach enabled the evaluation of how demulsifier concentration influences both emulsion stability and oil recovery performance. Experimental results clearly demonstrated that the introduction of chemical demulsifiers into the produced water significantly improved in-situ emulsion destabilization. Th.. Read More»
