ABSTRACT Wax deposition in petroleum systems is intrinsically connected with paraffin wax composition, yet their quantitative characterization by one‐dimensional high‐temperature gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (HTGC–FID), as prescribed by ASTM D5442, remains challenging.

ABSTRACT Conventional geochemical biomarkers include saturated, aromatic, and carboxylic acid compounds. Saturated and aromatic biomarkers, however, form the foundation of many geochemical studies because of their abundance and intrinsic significance.

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Electrospinning
Abstract Electrospinning produces micro‐ and nanofibres by forcing a polymeric solution through a fine needle in an electric field that produces a filament that accumulates onto a collector plate. The fibre morphology depends on solution properties, distance between needle and plate, feed rate, and electric field intensity.

Simulations of Asphaltene Deposition in Submarine Pipelines by CFD
The transportation of heavy or waxy crude oils presents some special design problems, which must take into account the requirements for the control of asphaltene deposition on interior surfaces of the pipeline. With the asphaltene deposition of the crude

Bitumen Emulsion—Mineral Surface Interactions: An NMR Study on the Interface Layer Composition
We describe a 1H NMR approach to study the interface layer formed by a specified bitumen emulsion in the presence of non‐magnetic as well as magnetic minerals. This approach is based on the consecutive flushing off “bulky” components of the bitumen emulsion and the following extraction of the surface layer material, which can then be analyzed by NMR ...

Abstract The Permian–Triassic environmental crisis triggered fundamental changes in marine ecosystems, culminating in the most severe biodiversity crisis of the Phanerozoic. Yet, the environmental and geochemical conditions governing the crisis and ecosystem recovery remain debated.

Experimental Study and Mathematical Modeling of Asphaltene Deposition Mechanism in Core Samples
In this work, experimental studies were conducted to determine the effect of asphaltene deposition on the permeability reduction and porosity reduction of carbonate, sandstone and dolomite rock samples using an Iranian bottom hole live oil sample which ...

Evaluation of the Influence of Antifoam Formulations on Asphaltene Aggregates Using AFM and SEM‐EDS
ABSTRACT Asphaltenes, naturally occurring surfactants in crude oil play a pivotal role in stabilizing oily foams during primary oil processing. Accordingly, understanding how antifoam formulations influence asphaltene aggregation is essential. This study investigates the effect of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with varying molar masses on asphaltene ...
