The article presents the sequence and results of experimental modeling of artificial oil-water emulsions based on anhydrous oil and water with density and mineralization as close as possible to the real field conditions of the researched deposits. The practical importance of simulation of artificial emulsions was due to the need to work with emulsions of different degrees of water cut, which is possible only by laboratory simulation conditions. We prepared artificial oil-water emulsion using a turbine mixer in a thermostated container. Then we set the emulsion preparation mode: number of revolutions (n1, min –1) and mixing time (t, min). We selected the optimal parameters to create stable artificial oil-water emulsions according to different types of oils.
