ASPHALTENE FLOW BAHA VIOR IN PRESENCE OF CARBON DIOXIDE (COz) GAS IN POROUS MEDIA

C02 injection is one of efficient enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods among gas flooding. However, it may change the reservoir fluid properties and cause some problems such as asphaltene precipitation. Asphaltenes are components of petroleum whose behavior and structure change with pressure, temp...

Asphaltenes are components of petroleum whose behavior and structure change with pressure, temperature and oil composition.

The asphaltenes turn into solid form and separate from the rest of the liquid oil. Unwanted asphaltene precipitation is a serious concern to the petroleum industry because asphaltenes plug up well bores, decrease production and could cause adverse affect on the oil recovery.
