Abstract
Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (cEOR) is undoubtedly a topic of interest as conventional oil resources are becoming scarcer, increasing the necessity to exploit heavy and unconventional oils. In terms of polymer-surfactant processing, the flow behavior of oil-in-water emulsions and the separation of their phases could be significantly influenced by increasing the flow rate of the fluid phases in the pores of the reservoir rock. The goal of this research was to determine the dynamic viscosity of settled oil-in-water emulsions. The methods for measuring emulsions were implemented by determining the phase viscosity characteristics of settled emulsions using a Brookfield rotational viscometer. Based on the test results, it was found that the polymeric flow modifier and composition of the surfactant mixture significantly influence the viscosity and stability of crude oil-in-water emulsions.
