Experiences in the production, transportation and preparation of crude oil for transportation have shown that specific problems arise related to their mixing, including water contamination. In recent years, interest in studying these problems has significantly increased, mainly due to the development of extraction technologies for heavy oil samples and bitumen. Along with various difficulties encountered during the pipeline transportation of complex rheological crude oil blended with each other and with light oil, including condensate (such as sedimentation, etc.), imbalances are also observed during storage, as well as in the processes of delivery and reception. During the dehydration of oil mixtures, a synergistic effect is observed in the consumption of demulsifier. The article investigates, in accordance with international standards and based on laboratory tests, how the physico-chemical properties (density, viscosity, freezing point, saturated vapor pressure, chemical composition) of mixtures formed by blending various grades and compositions of Azerbaijani oil examples with each other and with condensate change and how the efficiency of dehydration of oil mixtures is affected by the mixing ratio of the oil involved. It was found that the quality indicators (physico-chemical parameters) of oil mixtures differ non-additively from the initial parameters of the blended products and in some cases, this difference is even observed with anomalies. Moreover, depending on the mixing ratio of the oil, variations in the consumption of demulsifier were also identified.
