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 …

Asphaltene deposition in the reservoirs, tubbing, and surface facilities causes serious flow
assurance problems with significant economic implications. Asphaltene flow assurance …

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 …

The emissions of CO2 have been recognized as the main cause of climate change. As an
important strategy being used to reduce the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, carbon …

Many studies have indicated that asphaltenes have two hierarchical nanocolloidal species,
the nanoaggregate and the cluster of nanoaggregates. These two species, along with the …

Asphaltenes are the heaviest and the most polar fractions of crude oil and are defined as a
solubility class (typically soluble in toluene but insoluble in n-alkanes like n-heptane) …

As global consumption of fossil fuels such as oil increases, previously abundant sources
have become depleted or plagued with obstructions. Asphaltene deposition is one of such …

Heavy and extra heavy crude oils usually have a high weight percentage of asphaltene,
which could induce many problems during production to refining processes. Also …

Asphaltene precipitation and subsequent deposition are responsible for one of the major
flow assurance concerns in the oil industry. Recent experimental evidence found on the …

Asphaltenes are the heaviest and most polar constituents of crude oils. The influences of
asphaltene on wax deposition were investigated with model oils utilizing a Taylor-Couette …
