Precipitation and deposition of asphaltenes and other organic substances in formation rock
causes formation damage and reduces effective hydrocarbon mobility, which can result in …

This study investigates the properties of asphaltene fractions in porous media and their role
in reducing permeability and porosity. Based on the classification of a whole asphaltene …

The precipitation of asphaltene damages rock formations and plugs pores, leading to
significant hydrocarbon production losses. Accurately measuring asphaltene deposition in …

An investigation into the impairment of permeability in porous media as a result of the
deposition of asphaltene particulates in a flowing stream is presented. By incorporating …

Precipitation and deposition of heavy organic materials such as asphaltene inside
reservoirs, processing and transportation facilities is a major concern in the oil industry …

There are relatively few studies that consider the influence of reservoir heterogeneity on
reservoir wax deposition. This study conducts a computerized tomography scan to study the …

Pressure depletion, temperature changes, and injection of CO 2 or solvents into reservoirs
can induce asphaltene precipitation and deposition in porous media. The dynamic …

A combination of rising oil demand and declining supply from the conventional sources is
drawing global attention to the vast heavy-oil resources. These are commonly developed …

Changing pressure, temperature, and composition cause instability in crude oil and create a
problematic issue which is called asphaltene deposition. Asphaltene deposition causes …

Asphaltene precipitation and deposition problems are one of the severe problems which
some reservoirs may face with them during their production life. Asphaltene deposition can …
