Kulim Kht Interfacial Tension in Enhanced Oil Recovery

Enhanced Water-Oil Separation 


nhanced Water-Oil Separation 

Scenario: In an offshore oil production platform, the production stream includes a significant amount of water, which forms an emulsion with the crude oil due to high surface tension. Application: By lowering surface tension using appropriate surfactants, contact angle and surface energy measurements can guide the selection of the most effective chemicals. This optimization improves emulsion destabilization, allowing for more efficient water-oil separation and reduced energy consumption during processing.
