In this work, polymer molecules of alkene oxides diesters with varying HLB values and molecular weights (ED1, ED2, ED3, PD1, PD2 PD3) were synthesized, elsewhere (Alsabagh et al., 2016). The demulsification efficiency was evaluated at field reservoir conditions. At conditions (60 °C 1 atm) the data revealed that maximum obtained by ED3 PD3 60 °C, 600 ppm after 55 40 min, respectively. (85 5000 psi), showed also 76% 70%, respectively, in spite 2% from blank emulsion (12% BS&W) separated 7...
