A hybrid thermal recovery process is a promising EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) method
and has been widely applied to post-steamed heavy oil reservoirs. Due to the complexity of …

The solubility of asphaltenes in hydrocarbons changes with pressure, composition, and
temperature, leading to precipitation and deposition, thereby causing one of the crucial …

Unconventional reservoirs are characterized by a significant amount of micro and
nanopores, which pose a critical challenge in accurately assessing the microscopic fluid …

Water flooding can create a transient heating effect that causes oil and water to self-emulsify.
This study sought to understand how this effect impacts crude oil's emulsifying properties by …

Currently, the alteration of external factors during crude oil extraction easily disrupts the
thermodynamic equilibrium of asphaltene, resulting in the continuous flocculation and …

MD simulation on the process of supercritical water extraction of shale oil in silica nano-slit
was carried out in this paper. Oil molecules extraction was a coupled-process of desorption …

Asphaltene is a complex blend of high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons present in crude oil.
It is a solid, insoluble component that precipitates from oil under certain circumstances, such …

In recent years, conventional oil has played a crucial role in industrial production and daily
life. However, as oil resources continue to decline, the development of unconventional oil …

Through the molecular dynamic simulation, the effect of CO 2 on asphaltene deposition
behavior and fluid flow mechanism under nano-confined conditions has been investigated …

Soluble inorganic carbon is an important component of a soil carbon pool, and its fate in
soils, sediments, and underground water environments has great effects on many …
