Asphaltene is the heaviest and most polar fraction of crude oils, which is usually defined as
a solubility class, soluble in light aromatics, benzene and toluene, and insoluble in paraffins …

The accurate evaluation of microscopic pore structure characteristics of shales is of great
significance for shale oil development. In order to gain a better understanding of …

CO 2 huff-n-puff can store CO 2 and improve the recovery of tight oil reservoir. The
asphaltene precipitation produced by the interaction of CO 2 and oil causes damage to tight …

The filtration of air has attracted increasing attention during recent waves of viral infection.
This review considers published literature regarding the usage of cellulose-based materials …

To better understand asphaltene deposition mechanisms and their influence on rock
permeability and wettability, we have developed an in situ micro-CT imaging capability to …

In this study, the effect of four asphaltene samples on the wettability alteration of carbonate
reservoir rock is investigated. The wettability of each core, before and after the deposition of …

In this paper, we propose a novel analytical solution to predict the diffusion coefficient and
depth of natural gas penetration during soaking period of the cyclic gas injection process …

Shale formations demonstrate distinct characteristics, such as a wide spectrum of pore size
from micro-scale to nano-scale, limited pore connectivity and ultra-low permeability. Despite …

In this study, a whole asphaltene sample was first aged with five dolomite core samples.
Then the core samples were washed with toluene; this asphaltene was named the bulk sub …

We propose an experimental methodology to visualize asphaltene precipitation in the pore
space of rocks and assess the reduction in permeability. We perform core flooding …
