Supercritical fluids find use in various areas in oil and gas production operations due to their
unique properties. Supercritical CO 2 (sc-CO 2) with its reduced viscosity, increased …

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

Injecting low salinity brines is regarded as an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) process through
IFT reduction. However, the exact mechanism behind this process is an unsettled and …

Carbon dioxide miscible flooding has become a popular method for Enhanced Oil Recovery
(EOR) because it not only efficiently enhances oil recovery but also considerably reduces …

Experimental data on the kinetics of methane gas hydrate decomposition are reported. The
isothermal/isobaric semi‐batch stirred‐tank reactor, used by Kim et al.(1987), was modified …

World petroleum residue processing capacity has reached about 810 MMTPA. In the present
petroleum refining scenario, the viability of a petroleum refinery strongly depends on the …

The kinetics of ethane hydrate decomposition was studied using an isothermal/isobaric
semibatch stirred-tank reactor. The experimental set-up and procedure used was similar to …

The aggregation of asphaltenes by pressure depletion both in a live crude oil and model
systems of asphaltenes in toluene/pentane solvents is studied. Near-infrared spectroscopy …

The aggregation of asphaltenes was studied using molecular modelling techniques. The
solubility parameter of two different asphaltene average molecules and their aggregates …

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 …
