Abstract
The performance of gas-liquid separators used to separate a liquid from a mixture containing at least one liquid and at least one gas, is enhanced by injecting into the mixture an additive, such as a suitable polymer, capable of imparting viscoelastic properties to the liquid. Suitable separators are those wherein crude oil is separated from a mixture obtained from an underground oil reservoir, the mixture typically containing water, hydrocarbon oil and gas.
