Abstract
The prediction and control of emulsion tightness in oil fields is crucial for optimizing production processes and maintaining operational efficiency. This project focuses on developing a predictive and control model to assess and manage the tightness of emulsions in oil reservoirs. Emulsions, which are mixtures of oil and water, can significantly impact the efficiency of extraction and refining processes, leading to operational challenges and increased production costs. By employing a combination of empirical data analysis, computational modelling, and machine learning techniques, this research aims to predict emulsion behaviour under various reservoir conditions and control the factors influencing emulsion stability. The model incorporates reservoir characteristics, fluid properties, and production parameters to provide realtime insights and effective strategies for mitigating emulsion-related issues. Ultimately, the model aims to enhance oil recovery, reduce operational costs, and improve the overall efficiency of oil field operations.
