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 …

The molecules in petroleum asphaltenes follow a molecular structure continuum similar to
the rest of the oil but differ in the formation of nanoaggregates in solution. The nature of the …

Asphaltenes are considered to be the heaviest and most polar fractions of crude oils and are
frequently implicated in problems encountered during production and refining as a result of …

Recent advances in the understanding of the molecular and colloidal structure of
asphaltenes in crude oils are codified in the Yen–Mullins model of asphaltenes. The Yen …

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 …

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 …

The increasing incidence of flow assurance problems caused by asphaltene deposition
during oil production has motivated the development of numerous theoretical models and …

Asphaltenes are a polydisperse fraction of the crude oil, the phase behavior of which is
significantly affected by the changes in pressure, temperature and composition. The focus of …

The tendency of asphaltene, the heaviest and most polarizable component of crude oil, to
deposit and block wellbores and pipelines can potentially lead to production loss and …

This paper is a continuation of our previous paper (part 1; 10.1021/ef401857t), which
discussed the roles of different phenomena effecting the deposition of asphaltene from …
