As global consumption of fossil fuels such as oil increases, previously abundant sources
have become depleted or plagued with obstructions. Asphaltene deposition is one of such …

The permeability reduction associated with asphaltene precipitation and deposition in gas
injection EOR processes has been widely observed and well-studied in conventional plays …

Asphaltene has been recognized as the cholesterol of petroleum for decades due to its
precipitation and deposition in oil production, transportation and processing facilities …

Asphaltene deposition is one of the major flow assurance problems that can potentially
deteriorate due to the current tendencies to produce from the deep-water environment or as …

This chapter presents 10 case studies where the knowledge gained in previous chapters is
applied to understand, predict, or mitigate asphaltene-deposition problems in the field. The …

Asphaltene precipitation is one of the most challenging issue in the oil industry which
causes many problems within the hydrocarbon transmission and production. During the past …

This chapter includes a detailed explanation of the multistep mechanism of asphaltene
precipitation, aggregation, and aging. An overview of the different experimental technique …

In this chapter, the current asphaltene-mitigation strategies such as the injection of
asphaltene inhibitors, the control of operating conditions, and the application of internal …

Asphaltene precipitation occurs when the pressure of a crude oil system falls below the
asphaltene onset pressure (AOP) which may lead to subsequent deposition and plugging of …

The selection of optimal chemical solutions to an asphaltene challenge has been an integral
part of the flow assurance strategy for a large on-shore field in Abu Dhabi. Previous studies …
