Abstract

Un método para mejorar la separación de emulsiones micelares de petróleo-agua. tales como aquellas que se encuentren en los fluidos de producción. Específicamente, una realización de la presente consiste en separar fases de petróleo y de agua en fluido de producción recuperado, agregando una sal iónica, tal como cloruro de sodio, cloruro de calcio, carbonato de sodio, bicarbonato de sodio, y/o un alcohol con alto peso molecular, tal como 2-etil hexanol o decanol, al fluido de producción. El fluido de producción puede incluir fluidos producidos con un método de recuperación mejorada de petróleo.A method to improve the separation of micellar oil-water emulsions. such as those found in production fluids. Specifically, one embodiment of the present consists in separating oil and water phases in recovered production fluid, adding an ionic salt, such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and / or an alcohol with high molecular weight, such as 2-ethyl hexanol or decanol, to the production fluid. The production fluid may include fluids produced with an improved oil recovery method.
