Although extensive research studies focused on different injection scenarios for enhanced
oil recovery purposes, the interactions between the injected fluid (eg gas, water) and …

Significant effort has been dedicated to understand the variables affecting asphaltene
precipitation. Based on years of research, it is well known how variables such as …

Understanding asphaltene precipitation and subsequent deposition during oil production is
of great importance for the oil industry nowadays because of the potential risk associated …

Asphaltenes precipitation and deposition is one of the main problems in the petroleum
industries which has attracted the attention of many scholars. Precipitation and deposition of …

Injection of natural/associated gas is widely used as an efficient method of enhanced oil
recovery in carbonate oil reservoirs in both miscible and immiscible conditions. Due to …

Water cut of high salinity, which is reported to be on the rise in many reservoirs, may
profoundly exacerbate asphaltene related problems. In this work, the impact of the …

Asphaltenes precipitation within reservoir pores or production flowlines can severely
hamper the petroleum-extraction process. Although the effect of temperature and pressure …

Asphaltene precipitation and deposition caused by temperature variation, pressure
depletion, and oil composition changes can result in formation damage, oil production …

One step in asphaltene extraction is to wash the precipitated asphaltenes with the
precipitant to remove trapped resinous material. To assess the effect of washing on …

One of the possible fluid-fluid interactions during water-flooding in oil reservoirs, that is still
debated, is the effect of injected brine salinity on asphaltene destabilization. If asphaltene …
