Viscosity reduction and stability study of Indian heavy crude oil/water emulsion using hydrogenated castor oil ethoxylate with 40 moles of ethylene oxide as surfactant
Viscosity reduces when heavy crude oil forms oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion in water or brine and can be easily transported through the pipeline. In this study, an oil/water (o/w) emulsion was prepared using crude oil and water as continuous and dispersed phases using two different non-ionic surfactant...
