Asphaltene deposition in the reservoirs, tubbing, and surface facilities causes serious flow
assurance problems with significant economic implications. Asphaltene flow assurance …

In this review, an attempt has been taken to show the preferential selection criteria of
microemulsions and nanoemulsions for applications in enhanced oil recovery. This paper …

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 …

Crude oils are complex mixtures of organic molecules, of which asphaltenes are the
heaviest component. Asphaltene precipitation and deposition have been recognized to be a …

The formation of clathrate hydrates in pipelines is potentially threatening to exploration and
gas transportation in the petroleum industry. To reduce such risks, various surfactants have …

The formation of organic sediments, especially asphaltene in reservoirs, wells and
equipment, has a harmful effect on the oil production economy, which reduces oil production …

In this work, the influence of water cut on the effectiveness of a newly developed asphaltene
inhibitor was studied. The asphaltene inhibitor concentration during adsorption and …

Despite the existing literature, the mechanisms of asphaltenes aggregation, precipitation,
and adsorption/deposition in relation to the structural motifs of asphaltenes remains unclear …

In this study, the ability of dilute concentrations of toluene to act as a CO 2-soluble
asphaltene stabilization agent capable of inhibiting asphaltene precipitation during …

An original method to study the local environment of vanadyl-containing components of
heavy oils based on fine-tuning simulation of their electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra in …
