MODELING OF ASPHALTENE DEPOSITION IN PIPELINES [PDF]
Journal of Petroleum Science and Technology, 2013 This paper is concerned with asphaltene deposition in fluid flowing through pipelines. Brownian diffusion and drag, gravitational, thermophoresis, buoyancy, and shear removal are considered as possible mechanisms in the asphaltene deposition process. The

Asphaltene precipitation trend and controlling its deposition mechanism
Natural Gas Industry B, 2022 The B oilfield is a large integrated oilfield in the Middle East. Asphaltene precipitates from crude oil and deposits on solid surfaces, affording considerable blockages of the formation, wellbore, and production equipment.

Impact of Asphaltene Precipitation and Deposition on Wettability and Permeability [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2021 Asphaltene precipitation and deposition have been a formation damage problem for decades, with the most devastating effects being wettability alteration and permeability impairment. To this effect, a critical look into the laboratory studies and models developed to quantify/predict permeability and wettability alterations are reviewed, stating their ...
