Molecular Mechanisms of Suppressing Asphaltene Aggregation and Flocculation by Dodecylbenzenesulfonic Acid Probed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Energy & Fuels, 2019
The behaviors of an asphaltene model compound, N-(1-undecyldodecyl)-N′-(5-carboxylicpentyl)-perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylbisimide (C5PeC11), in the absence and presence of an asphaltene inhibitor...

Study on the Asphaltene Precipitation in CO2 Flooding: A Perspective from Molecular Dynamics Simulation

, 2018
Asphaltene precipitation is a common phenomenon in the exploitation of crude oil and closely correlates with oil recovery, especially in CO2 flooding. In this work, employing molecular dynamics simulations, the asphaltene precipitation process in CO2 was

Microfluidic Study of the Deposition Dynamics of Asphaltene Subfractions Enriched with Island and Archipelago Motifs

Energy & Fuels, 2019
Asphaltene-related flow assurance problems are prevalent in oil production processes and are at the heart of issues such as the plugging of pipelines, the damage of rock formations, and the stabilization of viscous water-in-oil emulsions. A comprehensive

Influence of Asphaltene Polarity on Crystallization and Gelation of Waxy Oils

, 2018
We report for the first time the results from a systematic investigation of how asphaltenes of different polarity affect crystallization and gelation of waxy oils.

Experimental investigation of effect of asphaltene deposition on oil relative permeability, rock wettability alteration, and recovery in WAG process

Petroleum science and technology, 2019
Asphaltene deposition is considered to be one of the most problems during oil productions. This work describes the effect of asphaltene precipitation and deposition on relative permeability of reservoir rock during water alternating gas (WAG) injection ...

Asphaltenes

2017
Asphaltenes are the heaviest constituents of crude oil. The bottom of the bottom of the barrel is a complex mixture of macromolecules containing heteroatomic moieties. Although exhibiting high molecular weight, these molecules do not form a continuum as other hydrocarbon classes do.

The Role of Asphaltene Solubility and Chemical Composition on Asphaltene Aggregation

Petroleum Science and Technology, 2003
Abstract Asphaltenes from four different crude oils (Arab Heavy, B6, Canadon Seco, and Hondo) were fractionated in mixtures of heptane and toluene and analyzed by small angle neutron scattering (SANS). Fractionation appeared to concentrate the most polar species into the least soluble sub-fraction as indicated by elemental analysis.

Systematic Investigation of Asphaltene Deposition in the Wellbore and Near-Wellbore Region of a Deepwater Oil Reservoir Under Gas Injection. Part 1: Thermodynamic Modeling of the Phase Behavior of Polydisperse Asphaltenes

Energy & Fuels, 2019
Thermodynamic modeling is conducted for a high-asphaltene, high-resin crude oil produced from a deepwater reservoir using the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT).

Dynamic Asphaltene-Stearic Acid Competition at the Oil-Water Interface.

Langmuir, 2018
Interfacial tension (IFT) is one of the major parameters which govern the fluid flow in oil production and recovery. This paper investigates the interfacial activity of different natural surfactants found in crude oil.

Alkylation of Asphaltenes

1964
High-quality roofing asphalts are found to contain high-molecular-weight asphaltenes which exhibit a high tolerance for saturates and have a low carbon-to-hydrogen (C/H) ratio. These asphaltenes are believed to possess a few long, paraffinic side chains rather than many short chains or naphthenic groups. Evidence supporting this hypothesis was provided
