Abstract:Brazilian offshore activity has increased substantially in recent years, with many new oil fields being developed, and there is also a significant investment in the maintenance and optimization of existing ones. In all cases, the presence of water-in-oil emulsions during oil production is a critical issue, causing pressure drops in subsea lines and adding complexity to petroleum processing, resulting in a loss of productivity and quality of the produced oil. The factors mentioned can determine the technical an… Show more
