This project aims to use a solution of natural oil resin extract in carbon dioxide to break problematic water-in-crude oil emulsions with no secondary environmental consequences. Extracted crude oil contains water, which can result in problematic water-in-crude oil emulsions. These can be difficult to break into separate water and oil phases with potentially severe economic and environmental consequences. In Australia, such oilfield emulsion problems are frequently encountered in both the Bass Strait and across the Carnarvon Basin. The treatment option proposed will target both asphaltene and silt stabilised water-in-oil emulsions and will be readily deployable.

该项目旨在使用天然油树脂提取物在二氧化碳中的溶液来打破有问题的原油中的水乳液，而不会产生二次环境后果。提取的原油含有水，这可能导致有问题的原油包水乳液。这些可能难以分解成单独的水相和油相，具有潜在的严重经济和环境后果。在澳大利亚，在巴斯海峡和横跨卡纳冯盆地经常遇到这种油田乳状液问题。建议的处理方案将针对沥青质和淤泥稳定的油包水乳液，并将易于部署。
