On the Stabilization Mechanism of Water-in-Oil Emulsions in Petroleum Systems

We present a model explaining the mechanism of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion stabilization in petroleum systems. According to the model, W/O petroleum emulsions are stabilized by at least two types of chemicals:  one is a small subfraction of asphaltenes, and the other is a low-molecular-weight, surfa...
