Addressing asphaltene precipitation challenges in oil production is vital to optimize oil
production. This study navigates through various stages, from reservoir to transportation …

The permeability reduction associated with asphaltene precipitation and deposition in gas
injection EOR processes has been widely observed and well-studied in conventional plays …

Recently, there has been a growing interest in utilizing depleted gas and oil reservoirs for
carbon capture and storage. This interest arises from the fact that numerous reservoirs have …

Colloidal behavior of asphaltene in normal alkane-toluene mixture has been under research
over the past decades. However, the influence of asphaltene composition and its structure …

The oil recovery improvement by low-salinity waterflooding (LSWF) must be achieved with
minimal formation damage. The asphaltic fractions of crude oil can be destabilized when in …

Gas huff-n-puff (HnP) is considered a promising method for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in
tight reservoirs. An accurate comparison of the EOR performance between N2 and CO2 HnP …

Hydrocarbon gas flooding/Huff-n-Puff (HNP) can improve the oil recovery in the
unconventional reservoirs. Here, the mechanisms accounting for fluid flow in the low …

Water Alternating Gas (WAG) approach can improve the efficiency of gas flooding. However,
the precipitation damage that is induced by the gas injection may be inevitable. The …

Asphaltene deposition is one of the main challenges during CO2 injection (miscible or
immiscible) into reservoirs. Asphaltene deposition reduces the porosity and permeability of …

During CO2 flooding, the crude oil is treated with CO2, and meanwhile it is displaced by
CO2. Based on the two processes, the influence of pressure and CO2 content on the …
