One of the challenges in extracting oil from unconventional resources using hydraulic
fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques is the low primary recovery rate, which is caused …

Cyclic gas injection methods have been shown to improve oil recovery in conventional
reservoirs. Even though similar technologies have been used in unconventional reservoirs …

Asphaltene precipitation causes several problems during different stages of oil production in
the reservoirs. Experimental measurement of asphaltene precipitation is cumbersome …

Asphaltenes form the most polar fractions in crude oil, which decrease considerably the rock
permeability and the oil recovery and in total can cause operational problems. Hence, it is …

In this work, asphaltene adsorption in a sandstone core sample under dynamic conditions
and during miscible CO 2 injection was studied using live oil sample which is close to real …

Understanding the colloidal structure of crude oil in pipeline is of great significance for
finding effective solutions to remediate and prevent the aggregation and deposition of …

The deposition of asphaltenes on the inner wall of oil wells and pipelines causes flow
blockage and significant production loss in these conduits. The major underlying …

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 …

Asphaltenes have been referred to 'cholesterol of petroleum'and the heaviest and the most
complex components in crude oil. Asphaltene aggregation and deposition have always …

Oil-water relative permeability is not only the basis for studying the oil-water two-phase flow
characteristics, but also one of the indispensable parameters for the reservoir numerical …
