The stability of water-in-oil emulsions based on some North Sea crude oils has been studied with particular emphasis on the effects of ageing, i.e. exposure of the crude oils to air (and light). It is clearly demonstrated that the interfacial tension of a crude oil towards formation water decreases

The interfacial rheological properties of the crude oil-water interface have been measured. It is found that the rheological properties are time dependent and the film takes at least 8 h to attain equilibrium. During this period the surface elasticity and viscosity increase markedly with time, with
Properties of water-in-crude oil emulsions and model systems stabilized by interfacially active crude oil fractions or tetraoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether were analyzed using time domain dielectric spectroscopy. The amount of dispersed aqueous phase containing \(5 \% \mathrm{NaCl}\) varied from 10 to
