In oil production, during secondary recovery, water injection into the reservoir to displace oil towards the production well generates different phenomena, among which is emulsion formation. Emulsions are a problem for the oil industry, because they change the pressure drop in production lines and hardens the process of separating oil-water, generating high operating costs. Emulsion formation in oil production is not yet well understood and it does not only occur in porous media, emulsion formation also occurs during different stages of oil production. This work was focused on the emulsion formation in porous media specifically considering the pore scale two phase flow. A T-junction microfluidic device was used as a model of the union of two pore throats in a porous media. We studied droplet formation in cross-flowing streams, a technique studied and developed in the past decade in the area of microfluidics technologies. Through the injection of two immiscible liquids in the channels of the device, we established a stable droplet formation regime. To study the influence of different variables that govern drop formation, we varied the flow rates of both immiscible phases and their properties, such as viscosity and interfacial tension. The results show that the different regimes observed are not only a function of capillary number, defined based on the continuous phase, as suggested in the literature for microfluidic T junctions with rectangular cross section. In our experiments the cross section of the channel had an elliptic shape and the continuous phase was aqueous, and the characteristics of the dispersed phase had a great influence in the process of drop formation.
