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

Polymer flooding has been traditionally applied to achieve favorable mobility ratios
compared to water flooding, and thus increase formation sweep efficiency in oil …

For many years, formation damage caused by asphaltene precipitation and deposition has
been an issue. The most detrimental impacts are changes to wettability, permeability, and …

Stability of asphaltenes is affected mainly by the change in pressure and temperature within
the reservoir or in production lines. Destabilized asphaltenes results in several flow …

The stability of asphaltenes in crude oil is influenced by various factors, including
interactions with reservoir components such as brine and rock formations. While previous …

The occurrence of asphaltenes and gas hydrates represents a serious flow assurance
problem faced by engineers at different stages of oil production. Early detection and …

Carbon dioxide storage in high viscosity and density hydrocarbon reservoirs that have high
asphaltenes content is attractive. However, CO2 is an asphaltenes insoluble solvent, hence …
