PR461-21604-W01 Rag Layer Formation in Different Types of Crude Oils

May 9, 2025

Water-in-oil emulsions, known as rag layers, pose significant challenges during crude oil custody transfer operations by interfering with accurate volume measurements and composition analysis. This study investigates the formation of rag layers during sediment and water (S&W) centrifugation testing, examining the effects of crude oil types, oil properties, and centrifugation parameters.
