Petroleum industry is the mainstay of the economical enlargement of many nations. Most of
the market prices of all commodities are built on the cost of wide-range of petroleum …

Asphaltene is a solid oil component with a wide range of molecular compositions and
structures, making it one of oil's most complicated components. The deposition and …

Asphaltene deposition in the reservoirs, tubbing, and surface facilities causes serious flow
assurance problems with significant economic implications. Asphaltene flow assurance …

Asphaltene is the heaviest and most polar fraction of crude oils, which is usually defined as
a solubility class, soluble in light aromatics, benzene and toluene, and insoluble in paraffins …

One of the major problems in all area of petroleum industry, including production, operation,
storage and transportation, is formation of heavy organic compounds, eg, asphaltene and …

Deposition of asphaltenes on the inner surface of oil wells and pipelines causes flow
blockage or significant production loss in these conduits. Generally, asphaltenes are stable …

This paper describes the results of experimental tests in co-injection of precipitant agent/oil
through a flow-loop setup to measure and characterize the deposition of precipitated …

Organic precipitations are highly sticky and hard if some asphaltenes are present. This
causes a deposition problem to occur when thermodynamic conditions are suitable for …

Asphaltenes are heavy-molecular-weight condensed aromatic fractions present in crude oil
along with saturates, resins, and aromatics. Asphaltene particles start precipitating when the …

Asphaltene precipitation and deposition in the reservoir, near-wellbore region, and pipelines
is one of the critical problems in flow assurance. It can cause a blockage of pore throats and …
