Phase behavior in petroleum fluids (A Detailed Descriptive and Illustrative Account) [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
This chapter presents a descriptive and illustrative account of phase behavior in the seven naturally occurring petroleum fluids and ties all the known eleven phase-transition concepts in a unified narrative. The figures and tables contained in this report are designed so that they could effectively support the discussion about molecular make-up of ...

AVALIAÇÃO DE ASFALTENOS PRECIPITADOS EM DIFERENTES CONDIÇÕES DE COMPOSIÇÃO, TEMPERATURA E PRESSÃO

open access: yesQuímica Nova
Asphaltenes are a heavy fraction of petroleum with the ability for self-association, a phenomenon that can occur spontaneously in the reservoirs or in any of the various stages of production and processing, depending on variations in pressure ...

Chemical modification of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with possible application as asphaltene flocculant agent

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2013
Asphaltenes can cause enormous losses in the oil industry, because they are soluble only in aromatic solvents. Therefore, they must be removed from the petroleum before it is refined, using flocculant agents. Aiming to find new materials that can work as

Thermogravimetric and calorimetric dataset for extra heavy crude asphaltenes obtained by electrodeposition in the presence of magnetic field and magnetic nanoparticles

open access: yesData in Brief, 2020
A better understanding of the behavior of asphaltenes is paramount for improving processes related to heavy crude oil, such as transport. Previous research has studied its aggregation [1], as well as its average chemical structure [2].

Aspects of asphaltene aggregation obtained from coarse-grained molecular modeling

open access: yes, 2015
We have performed a molecular-simulation-based study to explore some of the underlying mechanisms of asphaltene aggregation. The daunting complexity of the crude oil + asphaltene system precludes any type of meaningful molecular simulation unless some ...

Investigation of Asphaltene Stability in the Iranian Crude Oils [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2008
The influence of different factors on the asphaltene stability in three iranian crude oils was evaluated. Compositional studies and structural characterization of resins and asphaltenes were carried out in order to study a possible relationship between ...

Wetting Alteration of Solid Surfaces by Crude Oils and Their Asphaltenes Modification de la mouillabilité des surfaces solides par les pétroles bruts et leurs asphaltènes

open access: yesOil & Gas Science and Technology, 2006
Crude oils contain a variety of components - including asphaltenes - that can adsorb onto mineral surfaces and alter wetting. What distinguishes the asphaltenes from other constituents of an oil is their tendency to aggregate and even separate from the ...

Curated dataset of asphaltene structures

open access: yesData in Brief
Asphaltenes, a distinct class of molecules found in crude oil, exhibit insolubility in nonpolar solvents like n-heptane but are soluble in aromatic solvents such as toluene and benzene. Understanding asphaltenes is crucial in the petroleum industry due to their detrimental effects on oil processing, resulting in significant economic losses and ...
