Influence of asphaltene deposition on oil seepage characteristics [PDF]
Asphaltene deposition not only damages reservoir physical properties, but also affects fluid saturation distribution and seepage characteristics.The oil-water, oil-gas and three-phase relative permeability curves with or without asphaltene deposition ...

NUMERICAL MODELING OF ASPHALTENE DEPOSITION [PDF]
Asphaltene deposition on the walls of wellbore or pipeline during oil production and processing will cause dire consequences if left untreated. A better understanding of this phenomenon is required. This study presents a general modelling framework based either on the level-set approach or the concentration approach for modelling asphaltene deposition ...

A Novel Method for Mitigation of Asphaltene Deposition in the Wellstring [PDF]
Asphaltene precipitation and deposition is a serious problem in many Iranian fields. The deposited asphaltene results in partial or total blockage of the wellbore and wellstring reducing or completely seizing oil production.

Asphaltene precipitation trend and controlling its deposition mechanism
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]
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 ...

Numerical Validation of Asphaltene Precipitation and Deposition during CO2 miscible flooding
Asphaltene precipitation, flocculation, and deposition can significantly reduce oil production by impacting wellbores, flowlines, and more importantly, formations’ pore space around the well.
