We report classical atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of four structurally diverse
model asphaltenes, a model resin, and their respective mixtures in toluene or heptane under …

We study the aggregation of asphaltene in supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) using
molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations. We use a well-defined asphaltene …

Abstract A Deep Bed Filtration model has been developed to quantify the effect of solids
invasion from drilling fluids on the permeability of rock formations. The calculated particle …

As we continue to use fossil fuels for our energy supply, the concentration of CO2 in the
Earth's atmosphere is likely to continue to increase. It has been shown that this is correlated …

Asphaltenes are known as the “cholesterol” of crude oil. They form nanoaggregates,
precipitate, adhere to surfaces, block rock pores, and may alter the wetting characteristics of …

The dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) technique was applied to study the behavior of
several uncharged perylene bisimide-based polyaromatic surfactant (PAS) molecules, with …

The review describes theoretical approaches based on computer simulations at various
levels of details (from quantum chemical calculations to atomistic and coarse-grained …

We study the interplay between transport and adsorption in porous systems under a fluid
flow, based on a lattice Boltzmann scheme extended to account for adsorption. We …

The effect of pressure on asphaltene aggregation is studied in a mixture of toluene–methane
(90: 10 wt/wt%, 61: 39 mol/mol%) using coarse-grained (CG) molecular simulations to mimic …

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 …
