Oil industry suffers from flow assurance problems that occur both in upstream and
downstream operations. One of the common flow assurance issues arises from precipitation …

In this paper, we present a systematic review of the perturbed-chain statistical associating
fluid theory equation of state (PC-SAFT) EoS for thermodynamic modeling with application in …

Asphaltene precipitation has been one of the major problems in the oil industry, and its
modeling is still believed to be a quite complex issue due to the different characteristics of …

Asphaltene precipitation and deposition in the reservoir, near-wellbore region, and pipelines
is one of the critical problems in flow assurance. It can cause a blockage of pore throats and …

A new methodology was proposed for predicting the multiphase behavior of a supercritical
CO 2–heavy oil–water–solvent system during supercritical CO 2 extraction. The cubic-plus …

Solvent-assisted heavy oil recovery methods have gained significance in recent years. The
injected solvents can be of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon chemicals or a mixture of …

Abstract The Perturbed Chain version of the Statistical Associating Fluid Theory Equation of
State (PC-SAFT EoS) has been successfully applied to the modeling of the phase behavior …

Asphaltene precipitation is considered a precursor of the plugging of oil wells and
subsurface equipment and is a topic of continuous interest among companies and academic …

One of the major issues in the oil industry is asphaltene precipitation. Modeling asphaltene
precipitation is still considered as a complex problem due to various characteristics of …

It is well-known that asphaltenes are a polydisperse fraction present in crude oil with a broad
distribution of sizes and molecular characteristics. However, in practice, asphaltenes are …
