Influence of the Interfacial Properties on the Stability of Water in Heavy Oil Emulsions in Thermal Recovery Process
Under the conditions of thermal oil recovery, the heavy oil in a reservoir usually exists in the form of W/O emulsion with high water content, which has significant effect on oil recovery performance. The most important parameter on the stability of W/O emulsion is interfacial properties. Thus, in o...
