Review of asphaltene properties and precipitation modeling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Asphaltenes are of special interest to the petroleum industry due to their complex, non-linear phase behavior and tendency to deposit in reservoir and production equipment that drives up production and remedial costs associated with oil recovery ...

A Systematic approach to determine the optimal production rate to inhibit asphaltene deposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This thesis utilizes a systematic mathematical model, scaling analysis, to quantify the effect of production rate on asphaltene deposition, using a set of uniquely described mathematical equations modeled for the deposition process.

Molecular thermodynamics for prevention of asphaltene precipitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Crude petroleum is a complex mixture of compounds with different chemical structures and molecular weights. Asphaltenes, the heaviest and most polar fraction of crude oil, are insoluble in normal alkanes such as n-heptane, but they are soluble in aromatic solvents such as toluene.

Study on Hydrothermal Catalytic Oxidation Demulsification of Oily Sludge

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Hydrothermal catalytic oxidation (HTCO) treated oily sludge optimally at 50 mg L−1 catalyst, 200°C, 10 min, oxidation coefficient 1, and 1:5 solid–liquid ratio, achieving 89.46% oil recovery. HTCO efficiently breaks emulsions, improves oil quality, lowers costs, and benefits the environment.

Hybrid‐Smart‐Water–Polymer for Controlling Water Cut and Scale Formation in Sandstone Reservoirs: Experimental and Field Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Although water flooding is widely applied for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), its efficiency is often limited by excessive water production and scale formation, which damage reservoir permeability and reduce oil recovery. This study evaluates the performance of smart‐water and hybrid‐smart‐water–polymer injection as a novel approach to mitigate these ...

Experimental Study on Multiscale Evolution Mechanism of Coalbed Reservoir Properties in “Three‐Low” CBM Reservoirs Modified by Chlorine Dioxide

open access: yesGeofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Aiming at the “three‐low” challenges (low permeability, low gas saturation, and low critical desorption‐to‐storage ratio [CDSR]) of Chinese coalbed methane (CBM) reservoir materials, this study adopted chlorine dioxide (ClO2) chemical modification on long‐flame, coking, and anthracite coal materials.

Study on Asphaltene Precipitation Using Thin Film Micro-reactor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Asphaltenes are present in most petroleum materials and in all heavy oils and bitumen from oil sands. Asphaltenes are the heaviest and most complex molecules in crude oil and are defined by its solubility class as the constituents of oil which are ...

Screening and Identification of Diesel Biodegrading Bacteria Isolated From Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminated Garage Soils of Kericho County, Kenya

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Despite the benefits of petroleum hydrocarbon as essential raw energy sources in many industries, they cause major global environmental pollution. Petroleum hydrocarbons pollutants are highly toxic and recalcitrant, making them dangerous and persistent over long periods in an ecosystem.
