Rapid Heterogeneous Asphaltene Precipitation with Dispersed Solids [PDF]
, 2018 Inorganic solids are often present in real heavy oil systems, but are typically absent in asphaltene laboratory studies. For the first time, we investigate the influence of inorganic solids on the kinetic precipitation of asphaltenes.

A Novel Method for Mitigation of Asphaltene Deposition in the Wellstring [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2010 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.
