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 emissions of CO2 have been recognized as the main cause of climate change. As an
important strategy being used to reduce the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, carbon …

Asphaltenes are the heaviest and the most polar fractions of crude oil and are defined as a
solubility class (typically soluble in toluene but insoluble in n-alkanes like n-heptane) …

252 literature sources and about 5000 crude oil assays were reviewed in this work. The
review has shown that the petroleum characterization can be classified in three categories …

Asphaltene precipitation has been one of the major problems in the oil industry, and its
modeling is still believed to be a quite complex issue due to the different characteristics of …

Cubic equations of state, such as the Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK) and the Peng–
Robinson (PR) EoS, are still the mostly used models in PVT modeling of reservoir fluids, and …

This study presents a pseudo-component method using the Perturbed-Chain Statistical
Associating Fluid Theory to predict density, isothermal compressibility, and the volumetric …
