The reduction of oil fouling in pipes and tanks is essential for the oil storage and
transportation industry. In this study, a superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic …

Asphaltene deposition is a long-standing problem that threatens the uninterrupted
production of crude oil. Unlike other flow assurance problems, downhole asphaltene …

Asphaltene studies have been a prime focus topic for many decades. However, the
underlying interaction mechanisms between water, oil, and asphaltenes requires more …

Asphaltene is a heavy component of crude oil that can deposit in the pores of the formation
and result in permeability reduction, and with time, pore plugging. Understanding the …

Hydrochloric and organic acids have been extensively used to enhance well productivity or
injectivity in tight carbonate formations (10 to 50 md). The use of these acids, however, can …

The deposition of asphaltenes in the petroleum industry has been found to be a significant
factor affecting the profitability of petroleum production and refining. For this reason, many …

Asphaltenes (ASPs) are regarded as high molecular weight components that often deposit
in the production lines and downstream infrastructure, leading to pressure drop and reduced …

Asphaltene precipitation and deposition is considered one of the prevailing issues during
carbon dioxide (CO 2) gas injection in gas enhanced oil recovery techniques, which leads to …

For many years, miscible gas injection has been the most beneficial enhanced oil recovery
method in the oil and gas industry. However, injecting a miscible gas to displace oil often …

Asphaltene deposits under a variety of temperatures and shear stresses in reservoirs, wells,
and crude oil transmission pipelines, and it is currently one of the most serious problems in …
