A Study on Asphaltenes Precipitation in Crude Oil Using Different Titrant

Asphaltenes are defined generally in terms of solubility. Its molecular structure in crude oil is said to be indefinite, making it difficult to study on the asphaltenes precipitation, which has been the problems to oil and gas industry for long period of time. Although different studies have been do...
