The effect of brine salinity on water-in-oil emulsion stability through droplet size distribution analysis: A case study
, Article Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology ; 2017 , Pages 1-13 ; 01932691 (ISSN) ; Ayatollahi, S ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
Water-in-oil emulsion usually forms during waterflooding in some heavy oil reservoirs. The composition and salinity of the injected water critically affect the w/o emulsion droplet size distribution, which control the emulsion stability and emulsion flow in porous media. The aim of the present work is to assess the effect of different sea water salinities on w/o emulsion stability through microscopic imaging. Therefore, w/o emulsions were prepared with different sea water samples, which were synthesized to resemble Persian Gulf, Mediterranean, Red Sea, and North Sea water samples. The results showed that log-normal distribution function predicts very well the experimental data to track the...
