As the global oil market continues to tighten, there is an increasing focus on enhancing oil recovery. However, enhanced oil recovery technologies require the addition of chemical components such as surfactants, alkalis, and polymers to the oil reservoir. These chemical components change the interface structure and affect fluid flow characteristics and phase interactions through adsorption and other behaviors, thus affecting the production efficiency and energy consumption of oil recovery, gathering, processing, and transportation. Particularly, a stable interface is formed during oil recovery that can sharply increase the difficulty of phase separation during oil gathering and processing, thereby considerably decreasing the separation efficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the effect of the interface structure and behavior on fluid flow characteristics and phase interactions for the advancement of the petroleum industry. Herein, the application and regulation of interfaces in the petroleum industry for fluid flow characteristics and phase interactions are reviewed, approaches for characterizing interface characteristics are critically analyzed and discussed, mechanisms of various factors influencing interface formation and stability through phase interactions are investigated, and methods of interface inhibition and destruction are summarized. Moreover, the latest techniques for applied interface formation in the petroleum industry are discussed, and the challenges and research prospects related to interfaces are summarized, providing references for enriching theoretical research in the field of interfaces within the petroleum industry and efficiently optimizing the production and operation of the petroleum industry.

This article introduces an innovative approach to oil field management using digital twin technology and machine learning. A detailed experimental setup was designed using oil displacement techniques, equipped with sensors, actuators, flow meters, and solenoid valves. The experiments focused on displacing oil using water, polymer, and oil, from which valuable data was gathered. This data was pivotal in crafting a digital twin model of the oil field. Utilizing the digital twin, ML algorithms were trained to predict oil production rates, detect potential equipment malfunctions, and prevent operational issues. Our findings highlight a notable 10-15% improvement in oil production efficiency, underscoring the transformative potential of merging DT and ML in the petroleum industry.

“…Effectively destabilizing emulsions is of great significance for high-efficiency and low-consumption operation of the separation process in oilfield surface systems. , However, the stability of emulsions, especially chemical flooding-produced liquids, mainly depends on the properties of the oil–water interface. Therefore, in this paper, the crude oil/SDBS/mineral water MD simulation systems with different surfactant concentrations and the crude oil/SDBS/pure water control systems were constructed by regulating the number of SDBS molecules according to the experimental results of surfactant flooding-produced liquid composition analysis.…”

The interfacial behavior of surfactants exerts a considerable impact on the chemical flooding-produced liquid treatment project. For circumventing the limitations of model simplification and single-factor simulation of previous molecular dynamics (MD) studies, this paper based on the experimental results of crude oil-phase and water-phase composition constructed different simulation systems of “crude oil/SDBS/mineral water” considering the concentration of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS). The impact of SDBS concentration on the stability of the crude oil–mineral water interfacial film was explored, and the simulation results were verified by comparing with the simulation system of “crude oil/SDBS/pure water” and interfacial tension experiments. The simulated results showed that the SDBS molecules in the system exist in the form of a monolayer film after dynamic relaxation equilibrium, and with the increase in concentration, the number of SDBS molecules per unit area of the film increases, and the molecular chain bending characteristics are weakened. The order of the effect of inorganic cations on the aggregation degree of SDBS is Ca2+ > Na+ > K+ > Mg2+. When the concentration of SDBS increased from 0.15 to 0.70 mol/L, the total oil water interfacial film thickness increased from 1.433 nm in the crude oil/SDBS/mineral water system and 1.272 nm in the crude oil/SDBS/pure water system to 2.125 nm in the crude oil/SDBS/mineral water system and 2.398 nm in the crude oil/SDBS/pure water system. The absolute value of interface formation energy increased from 1223.59 and 1236.32 to 2739.19 and 3033.64, respectively, which are also basically consistent with the experimental results of interface tension. Furthermore, inorganic ions will weaken the performance of the surfactant SDBS and detrimentally affect the structural strength and stability of interfacial films. These results offer useful insights into the stabilization mechanism of oil–water emulsions. In particular, they provide a basis for the design and optimization of new pathways for oil–water emulsion instability in oilfield development.
