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

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 …

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) …

Heavy and extra heavy crude oils usually have a high weight percentage of asphaltene,
which could induce many problems during production to refining processes. Also …

For many years, the asphaltene aggregation has been the research focus in the petroleum
industry. However, few widely held beliefs have achieved on the microscopic process of …

Sustainable hydrocarbon production throughout the oil field life is the major aim of every
Petroleum Exploration and Production (E&P) company. This goal may become difficult or …

Abstract The Patel-Teja equation of state (PT EOS) is extensively researched, modified, and
applied three-parameter cubic equation of state for the prediction of volumetric and …

In this paper, we present a systematic review of the perturbed-chain statistical associating
fluid theory equation of state (PC-SAFT) EoS for thermodynamic modeling with application in …

In this work, asphaltene adsorption in a sandstone core sample under dynamic conditions
and during miscible CO 2 injection was studied using live oil sample which is close to real …

In the last decade, there has been a swift development in several scientific research works in
which the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) technique has played a critical role in …
