Adsorption of asphaltene onto mineral or metal surface is an undesirable process with
several adverse effects such as wettability alteration, fouling pipelines/equipment …

Addressing asphaltene precipitation challenges in oil production is vital to optimize oil
production. This study navigates through various stages, from reservoir to transportation …

Microfluidics-based lab-on-a-chip systems have shown great promise for characterization of
heavy oil and its fractions. Asphaltenes, comprising the heaviest and most complex fraction …

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 …

One of the challenges in extracting oil from unconventional resources using hydraulic
fracturing and horizontal drilling techniques is the low primary recovery rate, which is caused …

Asphaltenes are known to cause severe flow assurance problems in the near-wellbore
region of oil reservoirs. Understanding the mechanism of asphaltene deposition in porous …

CO2 flooding is widely recognized as an efficient way of developing tight reservoirs. Multiple
types of minerals in tight rocks may interact with introduced CO2, resulting in more complex …

To better understand asphaltene deposition mechanisms and their influence on rock
permeability and wettability, we have developed an in situ micro-CT imaging capability to …

Abstract Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) through various methodologies has been an active
research for many years seeking efficient methods to increase the crude oil recovery …

The recoverable hydrocarbon reserves of conventional oil and gas resources are very
limited in China. As important alternative resources, unconventional oil and gas have …
