Asphaltenes, the heaviest fraction in crude oil, are linked to severe problems in petroleum
industry. Asphaltenes are either in dissolved state or in colloidal dispersion form in crude oil.
Temperature has a significant role in dissolving the asphaltenes in continuous phase of
crude oil. However, there are differing views on the effect of temperature on solubility and
precipitation of asphaltenes. In this work, an investigation was carried out on the effect of
temperature on solubility of asphaltenes for six different crude oil samples in the temperature …
