Simulation of the Asphaltene Deposition Rate in Oil Wells under Different Multiphase Flow Condition
Energies, 2023 As the wellbore pressure falls below the bubble point pressure, the light components in the oil phase are liberated, forming additional vapor, and the single-phase flow becomes a gas–liquid two-phase flow.

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.
