Popis:	The critical electrical field has been used as a tool to probe water in crude emulsion stability to electrical fields in many previous studies. Given the increasing importance of this metric, this study investigates factors that are important to the reproducibility of the measurement and the effect of emulsion preparation variables on the critical electric field. It was observed that the emulsion preparation procedure has a strong effect on the measured critical electric field due to droplet size effects. Furthermore, the effect of crude oil properties on the critical electric field was investigated using emulsions from different oils but with the same average droplet diameter, where it was found that the measurement was dominated by crude oil viscosity.
