The use of surfactants in the process of water separation from crude oil emulsions formed at extraction is an effective solution in the treatment of crude oil. But perfecting this technology to a higher degree of efficiency, in order to destabilize the emulsion formed, requires the determination of the parameters involved in the design and the correlation of the obtained results. This research also aims at finding optimal solutions that increase the degree of water separation from emulsions using surface-effective solutions to destabilize the emulsion layer. This research was basedon data from two wells that extract oil from Barc�u reservoir. To achieve this objective, the composition of crude oil was analyzed, the emulsion characteristics were established and the elected demulsifiers were tested. The study highlights the efficiency of destabilization up to 97.9 mass %.

AbstractWe studied adsorption, growth and desorption of Xe on Nb(110) using an in-situ obliqueincidence reflectivity difference (OI-RD) technique and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) from 32 K to 100 K. The results show that Xe grows a (111)-oriented film after a transition layer is formed on Nb(110). The transition layer consists of three layers. The first two layers are disordered with Xe-Xe separation significantly larger than the bulk value. The third monolayer forms a close packed (111) structure on top of the tensile-strained double layer and serves as a template for subsequent homoepitaxy. The adsorption of the first and the second layers are zeroth order with sticking coefficient close to one. Growth of the Xe(111) film on the transition layer proceeds in a step flow mode from 54K to 40K. At 40K, an incomplete layer-by-layer growth is observed while below 35K the growth proceeds in a multilayer mode.
