Asphaltene finds a distinguished position in current research on liquid and solid
hydrocarbon fuels due to its self-aggregating nature. The presence of asphaltene in crude …

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 …

Previously, asphaltene science had been hindered by many significant uncertainties
regarding molecular weight, molecular structure, and nanocolloidal characteristics 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 …

A comprehensive review of the recently published work on asphaltene destabilization and
flocculation kinetics is presented. Four different experimental techniques were used to study …

Asphaltenes are a solubility class of petroleum crude oil that can destabilize and deposit in
both upstream and downstream processes. In this study, asphaltene deposits were …

This paper discusses time-resolved small-angle neutron scattering results that were used to
investigate asphaltene structure and stability with and without a precipitant added in both …

The precipitation and deposition of asphaltenes is a primary problem related to the
processing, transportation, and production of oil. Flocculation of asphaltene aggregates is …

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 …

Many reservoirs worldwide received separate charges of primary biogenic gas and oil. In
high pressure provinces such as the Gulf of Mexico, the added gas should be in solution if …
