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

Asphaltenes and maltenes, integral components of petroleum systems, wield profound
influence over the properties of crude oils and derived products. This literature review …

Petroleum asphaltenes, a by-product of crude oil extraction, are a promising feedstock for
the development of high-value carbonaceous materials because of their high carbon content …

Hydrogen donation is the key to supercritical water upgrading of heavy oil, because it
benefits light distillate production and inhibits condensation, but the mechanism is still …

Despite the remarkable effort performed to understand the reaction mechanism of
asphaltenes during aquathermolysis reaction, the knowledge level about their molecular …

CO 2 huff-n-puff can store CO 2 and improve the recovery of tight oil reservoir. The
asphaltene precipitation produced by the interaction of CO 2 and oil causes damage to tight …

The lack of information about the chemical composition and structure of asphaltenes in
crude oil, which has a sufficient share in the economy of Azerbaijan, complicates its …

In the present review article, we summarize current investigations and contributions on a
wide range applications of asphaltenes. Asphaltenes have been studied extensively for their …

Asphaltenes, as the heaviest and most polar fraction of petroleum, have been characterized
by various analytical techniques. A variety of fractionation methods have been carried out to …

In the petroleum industry, polymer-containing oily sludge (PCOS) hindered oil extraction and
