Asphaltenes and maltenes, integral components of petroleum systems, wield profound
influence over the properties of crude oils and derived products. This literature review …

With the implementation of the “3060” carbon neutrality policy, the cancellation of external
insulation has led to the increasingly serious deposition of heavy components in petroleum …

Oxidation in crude oil production is unavoidable. Oxidized asphaltenes, interacting with
waxes during crystallization, profoundly alter wax precipitation and gel behavior in crude …

The rheological properties and thermal conductivity of waxy crude oils are critical factors
influencing calculations for pipeline shutdown and restart procedures. In this study, the …

Wax precipitation causes numerous challenges in the transportation and refining of crude
oil. Wax deposition can be decreased and the flowability of waxy crude oil in cold …

In underground reservoirs and offshore oilfields, the production and transportation of waxy
oil inevitably involve pressure and asphaltene environment. However, the effect of …

Blending with light oil is a commonly used and reliable method of crude oil transportation,
and the blending ratio is a crucial operating parameter in determining the safe and efficient …

A micro-rheological integration experiment was conducted on model oils without asphaltene
and with 0.05 wt% asphaltene. The study examined the viscosity-temperature characteristics …

The precipitation of wax at low temperature often leads to the viscosity increase of waxy
crude oil, and even causes the blockage of pipelines in severe cases. The addition of …

The paper describes a comparative assessment of viscosity–temperature curves for a
number of model mixtures prepared from crude oil maltenes isolated from unstable oils (with …
