Model for Rheological Behavior of Crude Oil and Alkali-Surfactant- Polymer Emulsion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Characterization of rheological behavior of alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) solution and oil emulsion is difficult, due to the complex chemical components and various physiochemical reactions with oil during chemical flooding. Through rheological experiments of ASP and crude oil emulsion, this paper presents the studies on influencing factors of rheological behavior, including interfacial tension, polymer and water cut, and discusses the stability mechanism of ASP and crude oil emulsion. The relationships among viscosity, interfacial tension, water cut and sheer rate were built through fitting the experimental data. The model and calculation can be used to more accurately simulate the ASP flooding in oil reservoirs.

Breaking of Oil -Water Emulsion for the Improvement of Oil Recovery Operations in the Niger Delta Oilfields
Emulsified water is generally present in crude oil as a result of mixing occurring during production operations. The formation of emulsion leads to problems in production and also transportation. Therefore the need to break oil/water emulsions system through demulsification process using chemical surfactants for improved oil recovery operations. Selected cationic surfactants were effective in s...
متن کاملRheological and Computational Analysis of Crude Oil Transportation
Transportation of unrefined crude oil from the production unit to a refinery or large storage area by a pipeline is difficult due to the different properties of crude in various areas. Thus, the design of a crude oil pipeline is a very complex and time consuming process, when considering all the various parameters. There were three very important parameters that play a significant role in the t...
