Asphaltene Precipitation Modeling of Sadi Formation in Halfaya Iraqi Oil Field
Asphaltene is a component class that may precipitate from petroleum as a highly viscous and sticky material that is likely to cause deposition problems in a reservoir, in production well, transportation, and in process plants.

Influence of asphaltene deposition on oil seepage characteristics
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 ...

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.

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.
