Asphaltene is the heaviest and most polar fraction of crude oils, which is usually defined as
a solubility class, soluble in light aromatics, benzene and toluene, and insoluble in paraffins …

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

In recent years, characterization of asphaltenes as an appropriate way to deal with their
related problems in the oil industry has been received considerable attention. The Fourier …

The formation of emulsions during oil production is a costly problem, both in terms of
chemicals used and production lost. This paper discusses production and operational …

In this paper, oil recovery mechanisms and asphaltene precipitation phenomenon of
immiscible and miscible CO2 flooding processes in the tight sandstone reservoir core plugs …

The precipitation of asphaltenes in two Mexican crude oils was measured using a
combination of high‐pressure isothermal expansion and atmospheric titration with n …

Oil industry suffers from flow assurance problems that occur both in upstream and
downstream operations. One of the common flow assurance issues arises from precipitation …

Nanoparticles (NPs) have been recently recognized as effective asphaltenes adsorbents
and deposition deterrents. The objective of this work is to provide a critical review and …

In this article we present results of dynamic and static precipitation tests to investigate the
likelihood of asphaltene deposition problems in southeast Saskatchewan's Weyburn …

Asphaltenes are the heaviest and the most polar fractions of crude oil and are defined as a
solubility class (typically soluble in toluene but insoluble in n-alkanes like n-heptane) …
