In this study, a series of heteroatoms including nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur were added to
different positions of the model asphaltene structure to study the effect of the heteroatom …

Heavy oil and bitumen supply the vast majority of energy resources in Canada. Different
methods can be implemented to produce oil from such unconventional resources …

The behaviors of an asphaltene model compound, N-(1-undecyldodecyl)-N′-(5-
carboxylicpentyl)-perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylbisimide (C5PeC11), in the absence and …

Asphaltenes have a tendency toward aggregation, leading to a series of problems (eg,
coking) in the field of refining or other oil utilization and making the development of a …

Mechanism of asphaltene disaggregation by alkylated treatment was revealed
experimentally and theoretically. Significant increases both in inter-sheet distance and …

Marine fuel oil stability has always been an issue for bunkering companies and ship owners
all around the world and the problem has become even more apparent with the introduction …

Asphaltenes aggregation is a challenging issue for fully upgrading heavy oils, making the
development of efficient liquid-phase disaggregation technologies a high priority. We put …

In this work, on the example of rock samples from Permian deposits of the heavy oil field
from the depth interval 117.5–188.6 m, a comprehensive study of the composition of oil …

Due to the technical, environmental and economic problems caused by asphaltene
precipitation, such as oil production reduction, well shut-ins and the necessity of EOR usage …

Antifouling coatings have attracted much attention in applications of industrial equipment
and systems. The accumulation of foulants on downhole equipment used in the steam …
