Brazilian offshore activity has increased substantially in recent years, with many new oil
fields being developed, and there is also a significant investment in the maintenance and …

Abstract Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions are present in some stages of exploration and
operation of oil fields. Therefore, it is important to define the dynamic viscosity behavior of …

This work aims to present a new paradigm in the Exploration & Production (E&P) segment
using Artificial Intelligence for rheological mapping of produced fluids and forecasting their …

Have not only water-in-oil emulsions been a ubiquitous flow assurance challenge in oilfield
operations, but also future perspectives suggest its increasing importance. In fact, as oil …

Emulsion formation during production from oil reservoirs or even on the surface is one of the
common phenomena in the oil industry. Viscosity and stability of emulsions are very …

ABSTRACT Water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions occur in different parts of petroleum recovery and
since their properties are different from those of crude oil and water, it is essential to find …

An accurate prediction of the dehydration of a crude oil is necessary for design, selection
and petroleum operations. The aim of this research was to predict the separation of water …

On the basis of the effective medium theory and the classical viscosity prediction model
proposed by Pal et al, the apparent viscosity and rheological properties of the water in crude …

A new viscosity model for predicting non-Newtonian emulsions is proposed. Empirical and
theoretical relationships are developed to describe the apparent viscosity vs. water cut …

The viscosity of water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions is a key parameter to understand
during oil exploitation and transportation. Water content increases with the extraction of …
