252 literature sources and about 5000 crude oil assays were reviewed in this work. The
review has shown that the petroleum characterization can be classified in three categories …

In this paper, we present a systematic review of the perturbed-chain statistical associating
fluid theory equation of state (PC-SAFT) EoS for thermodynamic modeling with application in …

The emissions of CO2 have been recognized as the main cause of climate change. As an
important strategy being used to reduce the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, carbon …

The LUKOIL Neftohim Burgas vacuum residue hydrocracking has increased the vacuum
residue conversion from 55 to 93% as a result of a proper feed selection, optimal catalyst …

The conventional cubic equation of state (EOS), as a robust and efficient method for phase
behavior prediction of bulk fluids, is no longer applicable for nano-confined fluids because of …

It is well-known that asphaltenes are a polydisperse fraction present in crude oil with a broad
distribution of sizes and molecular characteristics. However, in practice, asphaltenes are …

In this study, petroleomics characterization, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, and a
cubic-plus-association (CPA) equation of state (EoS) were conducted to understand how the …

Multiphase equilibrium calculations are important in primary and enhanced oil recovery
production mechanisms such as natural depletion, gas injection, and steam injection …

Asphaltenes are complex chemical mixtures which represent a solubility fraction of crude oil
and of carbonaceous materials, typically defined as toluene soluble and n-heptane …

Crude oils consist of tens of thousands of components belonging to various hydrocarbon
families, including n-alkanes, cyclo-alkanes, and aromatics. Because the experimental …
