Las características fisicoquímicas de los fluidos de producción derivados de procesos de recobro químico (emulsiones crudo-agua), pueden alterarse debido a la presencia de polímero residual, lo que puede generar problemas operacionales en sistemas de levantamiento o facilidades de superficie. En esta investigación se analizaron los efectos potenciales de HPAM residual sobre los fluidos de producción, haciendo sensibilidad en variables como la concentración residual de polímero, el corte de agua y la cantidad de sólidos totales disueltos (TSD) en el agua de producción. Se observó que en presencia de poliacrilamida parcialmente hidrolizada (HPAM) mejora la velocidad de separación de los fluidos de producción, pero disminuye la calidad del agua separada al aumentar el contenido de crudo disperso y al formarse emulsiones múltiples más estables promovidas por el remanente de polímero en la fase acuosa
The physicochemical characteristics of production fluids derived from chemical recovery processes (crude-water emulsions) can be altered due to the presence of residual polymer, which can generate operational problems in lifting systems or surface facilities. In this research, the potential effects of residual HPAM on the production fluids were analyzed, making sensitivity in variables such as the residual polymer concentration, the water cut and, the amount of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the production water. It was observed that in the presence of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) the separation speed of the production fluids is improved, but the quality of the separated water decreases as the content of dispersed crude
increases and the formation of more stable multiple emulsions promoted by the remnant of polymer in the aqueous phase
