The crude oil recovery process is frequently associated with the formation of stable
emulsions due to factors such as turbulent flow in pipelines and the presence of surface …

The processing of crude oil often requires the extraction of a large amount of water.
Frequently, crude oil is mixed with water to form water-in-crude oil emulsions as the result of …

The oil industry faces with crude oil emulsions formation issue. It is a common problem for
the most of oil-producing countries around the world, including the Republic of Kazakhstan …

With most crude oil extracted in the form of an emulsion, a substantial quantity of interfacially
active substances such as asphaltenes and resins adsorbed at the oil–water interface can …

Electrocoagulation (EC) is an efficient technology for removing oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions.
However, the role of the electric field in EC for demulsification remains unclear and an …

Hypothesis: The droplet-medium interfaces of petroleum emulsions are often stabilized by
the indigenous surface-active compounds (eg., asphaltenes), causing undesired issues …

The complicated nature of crude oil emulsions is part of the major setbacks associated with
the postulation of methods for phase separation and demulsification in the oil industry …

In the production and transportation of crude oils, the interaction between asphaltene
components and water is inevitable, significantly impacting asphaltene aggregation …

Interfacial tension (IFT) reduction and wettability alteration are major mechanisms to
chemically enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) in carbonate reservoirs. The purpose of this …

Asphaltenes are regarded as troublesome components of crude oils as their precipitation
and deposition inside production wells and downstream infrastructure often result in a …
