W/O-emulsion formation and W/O-emulsion stability testing. DIWO report no. 4.

摘要

This activity (activity II in task 3) of the DIWO project consists of an extensive laboratory study on the w/o-emulsion formation tendency and w/o-emulsion stability properties on Gullfaks crude, Statfjord crude and Arabian Heavy crude. The aims of this laboratory work were to study the following: the rate of w/o-emulsion formation, the maximum water uptake ability, the w/o-emulsion stability, the w/o-emulsion breaking effectiveness of Finasol OSR-5, the w/o-emulsion inhibition effectiveness of Finasol OSR-5, as a function of type of crude, degree of weathering (evaporation, photolysis), temperature and energy conditions. 62 tables, 85 figures.
