Oil-water emulsion causes a wide range of problems, one of which is the emergence of
significant decreases in pressure in flow lines resulting in higher pumping and transportation …

The petroleum industry produces a large volume of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion annually,
which has detrimental consequences for both the industry and the environment. Therefore …

Water-in-oil emulsions are frequently encountered in petroleum extraction. In this paper,
CRB-SiO 2, a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly demulsifier, was synthesized by a …

The petroleum industry produces thousands of barrels of oilfield waters from the initial stage
driven by primary production mechanisms to the tertiary stage. These produced waters …

Emulsions are common in the oil industry, being present in the extraction and production
stages. Its formation occurs with the contact of brine and crude oil under intense flow. The …

Crude oil extraction is a hot topic concerning industrial applications. The extracted oil
emulsions treatment with demulsifier is demanded for markets. Herein, we prepared a …

Emulsions in petroleum production pose challenges like equipment corrosion, pipeline
pressure drops, pumping costs, and catalyst poisoning, leading to increased production …

The separation of oil emulsions is an important step in the purification of crude oil from
water, mineral salts, and various associated contaminants, asphaltene-resinous substances …

Crude oil and formation water from a reservoir is produced under conditions that often favor
the formation and flow of emulsions towards and inside the processing facility. Except for …

Biosurfactants are used widely in the oil and petroleum industries such as the production,
transportation, and storage process of oil. This application of biosurfactants is due to the …
