Abstract: 
The paper presents the results of the process of demulsification of crude oil, well No. 15 of the Supsa field. The reasons for the formation of persistent petroleum emulsion are considered, the component composition of crude oil is determined, including the content of the amount of formation water. The experiments were carried out at low (20-30)Hz  and high (50-80) Hz frequencies of the magnetic field. The destruction of the oil-water emulsion was carried out without heat treatment under conditions of stabilization of the magnetic field and demulsifier Alkan 202. The technological scheme and parameters of crude oil dehydration are given. The influence of the magnetic field on the rate of destruction of the water-oil emulsion and the amount of released water is shown.
