Yueqiang Zhao et al.

Summary: The interfacial tension between water and organic liquids plays a crucial role in various processes. In this study, a new molecular thermodynamic approach was developed to predict the interfacial tension accurately. It was found that the excess interface entropy has a significant contribution to the total interfacial energy in water-organic liquid systems, while it can be neglected in mercury-nonmetallic liquid systems.

Insights into the relation of crude oil components and surfactants to the stability of oily wastewater emulsions: Influence of asphaltenes, colloids, and nonionic surfactants

Dengwei Sun et al.

Summary: In this study, the treatment of oily wastewater emulsions was found to be challenging due to the presence of large amounts of asphaltenes, colloids, and surfactants. The crude oil components were separated and characterized, and the emulsification performance of each component was evaluated. The emulsion stability of different surfactants was determined, and the mechanisms of the active components on the emulsion stability were analyzed. The study provides a theoretical basis for the demulsification and oil removal of oily wastewater emulsions.

Measurement of crude oil emulsion instability using magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging

Naser Ansaribaranghar et al.

Summary: This study used spatially resolved T2 distributions to examine the instability of emulsions, revealing changes in the relaxation times of oil and water during emulsion breaking. By comparing peak T2 values with bulk T2 values of different components, phase environments can be understood. Water and oil content in each layer was resolved by using peak areas of the T2 distribution. The results of this study were consistent with optical microscopy images, providing full spatial and temporal information on evolving phases and kinetics of phase dynamics in emulsion breaking.

Foaming characteristics of crude oil-CO2 mixture by depressurization: Influence of crude oil viscosity and wax precipitation

Fujun Sheng et al.

Summary: In this study, the effects of crude oil viscosity and wax precipitation on foaming characteristics were investigated using the depressurization method. The results showed that the foamability of crude oil tends to decrease with increasing temperature below the wax appearance temperature (WAT). However, above the WAT, the foamability weakens drastically and remains relatively constant with temperature. The dominant factor affecting foamability was found to be the temperature-induced change in oil phase viscosity. Additionally, the foam stability decreased significantly with increasing temperature, which was attributed to the decrease in interfacial dilational modulus and the weakened film strength at the crude oil-CO2 interface.

The effect of interfacial tension on CO2 oil-based foam stability under different temperatures and pressures

Zhoujie Wang et al.

Summary: Gas channeling is a common problem in CO2 flooding, which reduces oil production efficiency. The stability of CO2 oil-based foam is crucial for controlling gas channeling and improving oil recovery. This study constructed an oil-based foam system using different surfactants, and investigated the effects of base oil viscosity and gas type on foam stability. The influence of CO2-oil interfacial tension on the stability of oil-based foam was also analyzed. The findings provide valuable insights for understanding the stability mechanism of CO2 oil-based foam under different conditions and controlling gas channeling during CO2 flooding.

Impact of crude oil properties on stability of HCl-crude oil emulsion using XDLVO theory

Ahmad Abbasi et al.

Summary: In this study, the relationship between crude oil properties and emulsion stability was investigated using the XDLVO theory. The results indicate that total base number (TBN) and polarity of the crude oil medium can reliably predict emulsion stability. Sensitivity analysis showed that electron acceptor/donor components play an important role in short distances between droplets. Adhesion tests revealed that the presence of HCl solution increases the adhesion of crude oils to glass surfaces.

Novel polymer nanoparticles with core-shell structure for breaking asphaltenes-stabilized W/O and O/W emulsions

Xiaohui Mao et al.

Summary: In this study, a novel polymer nanoparticle PBM@PDM was synthesized and used as a demulsifier for stable water-in-oil (W/O) or oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. PBM@PDM could immediately induce coalescence of water droplets and effectively release water in W/O emulsion. It also successfully destabilized O/W emulsion stabilized by asphaltenes.

Nuclear dipolar relaxation induced by interacting ground state electron spins

W. Th. Wenckebach et al.

Summary: In DNP experiments, high magnetic fields and low temperatures are used to increase spin-lattice relaxation times. However, the relaxation times for dipolar components of the nuclear spin energy are still shorter than those for the Zeeman energy. Recent studies have discovered that this fast nuclear dipolar relaxation is due to nuclear flip-flop transitions, which can quantitatively explain the relaxation in calcium compounds and lithium fluoride.

Dissipative particle dynamics to study asphaltenes and surfactants interactions at the oil-water interface

Hui Jiang et al.

Summary: Heavy oil is an important unconventional oil resource that is difficult to transport due to its high viscosity and complex composition. Heavy oil-in-water emulsion transportation is considered to be an effective method, with asphaltenes playing a key role in the stability of the emulsions. This study provides insights into the behavior of asphaltenes and surfactants at the oil-water interface, contributing to a better understanding of their role in stabilizing the interface and providing useful information for heavy oil transportation.

Summary: The benefits of injecting CO2 into a gas-condensate reservoir include reducing emissions and increasing hydrocarbon production. Investing in low risk projects on already producing natural gas fields is feasible. In late production periods, the process can be carbon-negative, making the enhanced gas recovery scheme advantageous as a preliminary step before converting the reservoir to a CO2 storage facility.
