  Laboratory experiment was used to investigate the effect of demulsifiers on crude oil properties. To achieve this study, experimental investigation was conducted in a laboratory. First, Bottle test experiment was done to assess the rate of emulsion separation as measured by visually tracking the volume of water that has been separated over time. Crude oil was taken from two Niger Delta oil production fields for the investigation. A demulsifier at different dosage was introduced into each of the oil samples and was analyzed. 100mL graduated glass centrifuge tube from ASTM was used in the bottle test. The crude oil Density and Viscosity was measured at (15°C and 40°C) using a U-tube that oscillates as part of a density meter. This investigation shows that demulsifiers should not be generalized rather should be field or area based because reservoirs are made up of different chemi.. Read More»
