Numerical Simulation of Gas Evolution from Oil-in-Water Flow for Multistage Separation

Abstract:

The transition from water-in-oil to oil-in-water emulsion is generally very abrupt and it is characterized by a marked decrease in the effective viscosity. The mathematical model of the ascending bubble in the water phase comparatively to the oil phase is described in this paper. Numerical simulation has been performed on two petroleum compositions with different water cut using HYSYS software. More even distribution of gas evolution for multistage separation has been obtained with water cut of oil approximately 75%. These results allow saving of heavy hydrocarbons due to reducing of entrainment into off-gases.
