Two demulsifiers are examined for the dehydration and desalting of crude oil in the field. Reagent R-1 consists of a toluene solution of an oligourethane containing copolymers of alkylene oxides, with central oxypropylene and terminal oxyethylene blocks. The two crude oils used in this work are designated A (heavy, highresin) and B (light, medium wax). The hydrocarbon composition of these crudes were determined and the surface activity of the reagents in the two pure hydrocarbons was investigated.
