Prediction of Solvent Effect on Asphaltene Precipitation at Reservoir Conditions
Authors
Abstract:
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effects of inhibitors or solvents on asphaltene precipitation under reservoir conditions. To this end, the interaction between live oil and solvent, and its side effects on precipitated/dissolved asphaltene were predicted via Miller’s entropy modified polymer solution theory under reservoir conditions. Then, the adjustable parameters of the model were tuned using experimental the data of asphaltene precipitation within a live oil sample. The obtained adjusted parameters were considered to monitor the effects of solvent injection, miscible gas injection, and natural depletion on asphaltene deposition through an oil sample. Finally, Peng-Robinson equation of state was applied to calculate vapor-liquid equilibrium conditions. The results showed that the output of the model was really in good agreement with all experimental, field, and theoretical data.

A pre®iously described molecular-thermodynamic framework, based on colloid theory, is used to correlate experimental asphaltene-precipitation data at high-temperature and pressure conditions. In this framework, asphaltenes and resins are represented by pseudopure components, and all other components in a crude oil are presented by a continuous medium that affects ®an der Waals attractions among...

Measurement and corresponding states modeling of asphaltene precipitation in Jilin reservoir oils
The asphaltene precipitation of two reservoir oil samples collected from Jinlin oil field has been studied under pressure and with/without CO2-injection conditions. No asphaltene precipitation was detected during the pressure depletion processes without CO2 injection. For the CO2-injected oil systems, the effects of operating pressure, injected CO2 concentration, and multiple-contact on the ons...
full textUnderstanding mechanisms of asphaltene adsorption from organic solvent on mica.
The adsorption process of asphaltene onto molecularly smooth mica surfaces from toluene solutions of various concentrations (0.01-1 wt %) was studied using a surface forces apparatus (SFA). Adsorption of asphaltenes onto mica was found to be highly dependent on adsorption time and asphaltene concentration of the solution. The adsorption of asphaltenes led to an attractive bridging force between...

The main goal of the work is to investigate the behavior of a geothermal reservoir containing salty water when its physical parameters exceed the critical values, i.e. when the vaporization process cannot be described by the asymptotic self-similarity solution. We consider a low-permeability rock, where salty water vaporizes at a sharp front, because of fluid extraction at constant pressure. If...
