Abstract
Substantial work in the literature has been devoted to studying emulsion stability caused by specific fractions of crude oil, such as asphaltenes or naphthenic acids. However, emulsion stability issues occur in the field with whole crude oil present and not just fractions. Understanding how all molecules in whole crude oils behave when the solubility parameter is varied could help to answer the question of what makes an emulsion stable from a...
