Conductivity of Asphaltenes

1998
Asphaltenes have been studied extensively over the past 50–60 years.1–2 A number of experimental techniques have been employed. The simplest and most widely used technique is the measurement of the solubilities of isolated asphaltenes in various organic liquids, both aromatic solvents and flocculants like pentane.3–4 These studies yield valuable ...

Synthesis, characterization, and mechanism of asphaltene inhibition of phosphopropoxylated asphaltenes

Fuel, 2016
Abstract Phosphopropoxylated asphaltenes were synthesized by functionalizing the Mexican VR asphaltenes with phosphorus trichloride and then reacting the product with different polypropylene oxides. Elemental analysis, and molecular weight characterization showed that in average one atom of phosphorus and one propoxyl moiety are incorporated to the ...

Effect of Asphaltene Polarity on Wax Precipitation and Deposition Characteristics of Waxy Oils

Energy & Fuels, 2019
Asphaltenes are natural pour point depressants, and the effect of asphaltene polarity on the low-temperature rheology of waxy oils has been well studied.

Determination of the Stability of Asphaltenes Through Physicochemical Characterization of Asphaltenes

SPE Western Regional Meeting, 2016
Abstract Significant effort has been dedicated to understand the variables affecting asphaltene precipitation. Based on years of research, it is well known how variables such as temperature and pressure can affect the deposition of asphaltenes.

On Enthalpies of Solution of Athabasca Pentane Asphaltenes and Asphaltene Fractions

Energy & Fuels, 2012
The analysis and prediction of asphaltene precipitation behaviors and asphaltene–diluent interactions are typically treated from either a solution thermodynamics or a colloid perspective. The polydispersity and multiphase nature of asphaltenes allows for portions of these materials to exhibit both behaviors concurrently at fixed global composition.

Alkylation of Asphaltenes [PDF]

open access: possible, 2015
This work investigated different acid catalysts and olefinic alkylating agents for the alkylation of an industrial asphaltenes feed. The working hypothesis was that alkylation would change the solubility parameter and increase the H/C ratio of asphaltenes sufficiently to cause some asphaltenes to maltenes conversion.

Raman Spectrum of Asphaltene

Energy & Fuels, 2012
Asphaltenes extracted from seven different crude oils representing different geological formations from around the globe were analyzed using the Raman spectroscopic technique. Each spectrum is fitted with four main peaks using the Gaussian function. On the basis of D1 and G bands of the Raman spectrum, asphaltene indicated an ordered structure with the

Interfacial Rheology and Heterogeneity of Aging Asphaltene Layers at the Water-Oil Interface.

Langmuir, 2018
Surface-active asphaltene molecules are naturally found in crude oil, causing serious problems in the petroleum industry by stabilizing emulsion drops, thus hindering the separation of water and oil. Asphaltenes can adsorb at water-oil interfaces to form

Asphaltene Prediction and Prevention: A Strategy to Control Asphaltene Precipitation

SPE/PAPG Annual Technical Conference, 2012
ABSTRACT Asphaltene Precipitation and Deposition is a serious problem which can reduce the oil recovery by reducing reservoir permeability and altering the wettability. It can plug wells and flow lines through deposition and also cause separation difficulties at the separation facilities.
