Abstract
Summary Oil/water dispersions from two oils of different viscosities (16 and 220 cp), equal surface tensions (27 mN/m), and similar densities (810 and 873 kg/m3) were circulated in a viscous loop using an electrical submersible pump (ESP). The viscosity of the formed dispersions was measured at the discharge of the pump using an in-line pipe viscometer. The objective was to evaluate the impact of the effective viscosity of the emulsions on the head and flow rate delivered by the ESP.
