Crude Oil Processing: 3 Methods to Separate Oil & Water Emulsion

Описание: When crude oil is extracted, it’s not just oil that comes out—it’s a messy mix of oil, water, and gas. Before it can be sent to refineries, this mixture must be separated. In this video, we’ll explain how oil, water, and gas are separated at production facilities using methods like separators, heaters, and chemical additives. We’ll also dive into the major challenges engineers face, from stubborn emulsions to high water cuts and equipment limitations. Perfect for beginners or anyone curious about oilfield operations!

👉 Learn about:

Oil-water-gas separation basics

Common equipment used (e.g., 3-phase separators, heater treaters)

Chemical treatment in oil production

Challenges like emulsions and hydrate formation


🔧 Whether you're a student, oil & gas professional, or just curious about the industry, this video is a great place to start.
