Asphaltene is the heaviest and most polar fraction of crude oils, which is usually defined as
a solubility class, soluble in light aromatics, benzene and toluene, and insoluble in paraffins …

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 …

Understanding the phase behavior of the various fluids present in a petroleum reservoir is
essential for achieving optimal design and cost-effective operations in a petroleum …

The third edition of this besteller covers the latest advancements in this rapidly growing field.
Focusing on analyses and critical evaluation of the subject, this new edition reviews the …

Most crude oils contain traces of vanadium, which cause significant detrimental impact
during catalytic conversion and combustion. The concentrations in bitumen and vacuum …

Precipitation of asphaltene is considered as an undesired process during oil production via
natural depletion and gas injection as it blocks the pore space and reduces the oil flow rate …

Interfacial tension (IFT) as one of the main properties for efficient CO2 flooding planning in
oil reservoirs depends strongly on pressure, temperature, and composition of the reservoir …

Oil industry suffers from flow assurance problems that occur both in upstream and
downstream operations. One of the common flow assurance issues arises from precipitation …

This review presents recent advances and applications of statistical associating fluid theory
(SAFT), which has been extended in the past few years, conceptually and practically, to …

Asphaltene precipitation and its subsequent deposition is one of the major flow assurance
problems of oil industry. This issue could arise in upstream and downstream sectors. There …
