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.

Lubricant-Impregnated Surfaces for Mitigating Asphaltene Deposition [PDF]
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2020 Asphaltenes are heavy aromatic components of crude oil. Their complex chemical makeup-an aromatic core surrounded by aliphatic side chains-enables them to adhere to most surfaces. Their buildup in pipes can result in clogging and lead to interruption of production operations and expensive mechanical cleaning.
