Abstract

A method of emulsion detection includes executing an oil production process from a volume of a formation. While executing the oil production process, conducting real-time spectral induced polarization (SIP) measurements of the volume of the formation to determine a real-time real conductivity value (RCV) of a matrix material in the volume of the formation. The method further includes determining an onset of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion formation in the volume of the formation by analyzing the real-time RCV of the matrix material and optionally identifying the onset of the W/O emulsion formation when the real-time RCV first exceeds a first threshold value.
