Abstract
⺠We find that oils and petroleum will either take up water or not - to any extent. ⺠Oils that take up water do as three types; stable, meso-stable or entrained water. ⺠Stable emulsions have lifetimes of weeks to months and meso-stable up to a week. ⺠Entrained water types retain water by viscosity and lose water slowly after formation. ⺠The distinct water-containing types are correlated to bulk oil composition.
