Naphthenic acids and naphthenic acid fraction compounds (NAFCs) are associated with
production of unconventional petroleum resources, especially the Athabasca Oil Sands of …

Much of the toxicity in oil sands process-affected water in Athabasca oil sands tailings has
been attributed to naphthenic acids (NAs) and associated naphthenic acid fraction …

During the past decade, there has been sustained interest in papers published on
naphthenic acids (NAs) and the broader class of naphthenic acid-fraction compounds …

High-temperature corrosion of steel by carboxylic acids in the oil phase, an oxidative
dissolution process, is commonly encountered in refinery environments. Its reaction …

Multi-component thermal fluid flooding is an efficient thermal technology for heavy oil
recovery. However, the oil and gas transported by the gathering pipeline exhibit the large …

A parametric study defined a window of conditions leading to pitting of mild steel in
marginally sour environments: temperatures between 30° C and 60° C, pH 2 S from 0.02 …

Fire-driven technology has triggered significant interest as an effective technology to
improve oil recovery. However, corrosion can easily occur since fire-drive tail gas usually …

Naphthenic acids and sulfur compounds present in crude oils may cause corrosion in oil
refineries. In some cases, corrosion product scale formed in these oils may provide …

During high acid crude oil refining, there existed naphthenic acid corrosion, high flow rate
and strong turbulence of high acid crude oil would accelerate naphthenic acid corrosion …

In crude oil refineries, high temperature corrosion in nonaqueous phase, predominantly by
carboxylic acids (also known as naphthenic acids in crude oil) and sulfidation, is an old …
