This thesis explored how asphaltene and naphthenic amphiphile species influence the formation (morphology and size) and stability of heavy crude oil (bitumen) emulsions. It was experimentally shown that asphaltenes produce water-in-oil emulsions. Naphthenic amphiphiles on the other hand flip the emu...
