This study reviews the mechanism of microwave irradiation and the affecting parameters,
including heating rate, particle size, catalysts, and supercritical fluids on the microwave …

Asphaltene is one of the polar and heavy fractions of crude oil that is complex from a
molecular perspective. For this reason, the interaction between asphaltene molecules and …

Due to the inherent limitation of oilfield polyacrylamide in reservoir temperature and salinity,
nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively studied for their application in enhanced oil …

Understanding of possible molecular interactions at liquid-liquid and solid-liquid interfaces
can shed lights onto the nature's design and authorise fine manipulation aptitude in …

This research aims to the microwave-assisted catalytic cracking of the asphaltene by using
nanoparticles of SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, clay, and ZnO acting as a nanocatalyst. The nanoparticle …

Wettability as related to an oil reservoir represents a fluid's propensity to adsorb or stick to a
solid surface in the presence of another immiscible liquid. Therefore, wettability is a key …

This research aims to investigate the fluid-fluid interaction between surfactant-ion-tuned
water and crude from a macroscopic and molecular point of view. In this regard, the …

Solid deposition during production, transport, and storage of crude oils leads to significant
technical problems and economic losses for the oil and gas industry. The thermodynamic …

Transmission electron microscopy was used to probe the structural properties of
asphaltenes and their aggregation behavior. Asphaltenes precipitated by different n-alkanes …

This research aims to investigate the fundamental of asphaltene cracking and desorption
during microwave stimulation of an oil well. In this regard, the asphaltene chemistry and the …
