Abstract
All injection techniques tested gave significant reductions in oil droplet sizes. However, due to the rapid oil droplet formation in turbulent jets and possible formation of surfactant aggregates in the oil, premixing of dispersants should not be used for experimental studies of subsea dispersant injection. This could underestimate dispersant effectiveness and produce results that might not be representative for up-scaled field conditions.
