Asphaltene Precipitation Models: A Review
Asphaltenes are the heaviest and the most polar fractions of crude oil and are defined as a solubility class (typically soluble in toluene but insoluble in n-alkanes like n-heptane).

Modeling of Asphaltene Precipitation and Deposition
The tendency of Asphaltene to deposit and block tubing can potentially lead to production loss and significant cost of remediation. Unlike other deposits, the deposition behavior of Asphaltene is still not fully understood and is hindered by asphaltene ...

EFFECTIVE STRATEGY TO MINIMIZE ASPHALTENE PRECIPITATION DURING C02 INJECTION [PDF]
Unstable Asphaltene is major concern in oil reservoir under C02 Gas injection due to its unfavorable damage to reservoir which cannot be recovered. It can plug the pore spaces or can cause wettability alterations inreservoir. It can also plug wells and
