Wettability alterations, permeability reduction of reservoir rocks, and oil production decline
may occur as a consequence of asphaltene adsorption and deposition on the surfaces of oil …

Asphaltene adsorption on reservoir rock minerals causes wettability alteration and pore
plugging which subsequently reduces crude oil production. Also, it has a negative effect on …

The nature of asphaltene and mineralogy of reservoir rock affect the adsorption of
asphaltene onto the rock surface. The basic goal of the present study is to assess the …

Asphaltene precipitation and its adsorption on different surfaces are challenging topics in
the upstream and downstream of the oil industries and the environment. In this research, the …

Asphaltene adsorption at rock surfaces has important effects on enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) in the petroleum industry. In this work, the adsorption interaction of asphaltene with …

The deposition of asphaltenes is one of the most difficult problems to overcome in crude oil
production and processing. The presence of asphaltenes in crude oil and, consequently, the …

Adsorption of asphaltene onto mineral or metal surface is an undesirable process with
several adverse effects such as wettability alteration, fouling pipelines/equipment …

Asphaltene adsorption on minerals induces wettability alteration in porous media, which, in
turn, affects capillary pressure, relative permeability, and residual oil saturations. The …

Investigation of asphaltene adsorption at rock surfaces plays an important role in enhanced
oil recovery (EOR) for the petroleum industry. In this work, the interaction performances of …

In this work, amount of asphaltene adsorption onto the carbonate and sandstone rock
samples was investigated at various initial concentrations of asphaltene in oil. Asphaltene …
