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

Carbon dioxide miscible flooding has become a popular method for Enhanced Oil Recovery
(EOR) because it not only efficiently enhances oil recovery but also considerably reduces …

A producer in Alaska had been experiencing asphaltene deposition problems in one well of
a dual string completion, producing from two zones. Laboratory tests performed on both …

The insolubility of asphaltenes in light paraffin liquids and other incompatible fluids, such as
carbon dioxide (CO2), is a source of problems during crude oil production operations …

Gas injection is a well-known method for enhancing oil recovery (EOR). The utilization of
greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) or flue gas, offers the dual advantage of …

In this study, we conducted a series of molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the
effect of supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO 2) on the interfacial and transport properties of …

Asphaltene precipitation is one of the main technical challenges during the miscible gas
injection. The asphaltene may deposit on the rock surface and it may change the reservoir …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) flooding has been applied extensively worldwide to improve oil
recovery from hydrocarbon reservoirs. One of the main problems associated with CO2 …

There are a large number of investigations, which evaluate the impact of the liquid-based
inhibitors on the asphaltene stabilization. In those studies, a specific volume of inhibitor was …

CO2 and N2 injection is an effective enhanced oil recovery technology in the oilfield
especially for low-permeability and extra low-permeability reservoirs. However, these …
