Asphaltene precipitation can result in several production, operational, and transportation
problems during oil recovery. If asphaltene precipitates and deposits, it can reduce reservoir …

Asphaltenes, and their related issues, have been the focus of many literature investigations.
However, in-depth analysis of asphaltenes structure and its relation to asphaltenes stability …

Despite the existing literature, the mechanisms of asphaltenes aggregation, precipitation,
and adsorption/deposition in relation to the structural motifs of asphaltenes remains unclear …

Asphaltene is a heavy component of crude oil that can deposit in the pores of the formation
and result in permeability reduction, and with time, pore plugging. Understanding the …

Hydrochloric and organic acids have been extensively used to enhance well productivity or
injectivity in tight carbonate formations (10 to 50 md). The use of these acids, however, can …

Thermal recovery is one of the most effective techniques for viscous oil production, which
has been widely used in the heavy oilfield development. The mechanisms and percolation …

Asphaltenes comprehend a mixture of fluorescent aromatic compounds and are responsible
for many problems in the petrochemical industry during production, transportation, and oil …

In this paper, a setup for performing dynamic flow experiments was prepared. A set of
Natural Depletion tests were done to investigate the effects of pressure depletion and the …
