Asphaltenes, the most aromatic of the heaviest components of crude oil, are critical to all
aspects of petroleum utilization, including reservoir characterization, production …

Stable water-in-oil emulsions may form during the production of crude oil, as co-produced
water is mixed with the oil from reservoir to separation facilities. Such emulsions introduce …

The Yen–Mullins model, also known as the modified Yen model, specifies the predominant
molecular and colloidal structure of asphaltenes in crude oils and laboratory solvents and …

Asphaltenes, the most aromatic of the heaviest components of crude oil, are critical to all
aspects of petroleum use, including production, transportation, refining, upgrading, and …
