I encountered a troublesome problem while developing a new drilling fluids system for my company.

Our regular blend was in the following sequence. (Which worked fine)

Oil
Emulsifiers
Lime
Water
Glycerin
Clay


We are developing a solids free turbulent flow drilling fluid system and on the seconds blend we cut out the water which resulted in a regular emulsion.

My question is this: When encountering a flipped emulsion what can be done or what chemical can be used to reflip it into an invert emulsion???

Any inputs would be helpful!!!
