..., there is interest in industry to develop new tools that allow the detection of asphaltenes and hydrates in the early stages of their formation. In this work, acoustic and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements are utilized to detect asphaltene precipitation in crude and model oils. Asphaltene detection...

... of the deposit thickness and wax content. From the results, it has been observed that the Reynolds number has a more dominant effect on the deposited wax mass density compared to shear stress. This behavior is observed for in house synthesized model oil and different crude oils at various experimental conditions...

..., on the asphaltene precipitation and deposition tendency during oil production. Furthermore, we aim to provide means to control these adverse effects by using chelating agents. In a series of experiments, a model oil system, which was prepared by dissolving asphaltenes in toluene, was put in contact with aqueous...

... in the current wax deposition literature. This work provides experimental studies of the particle wax's radial distribution in laminar pipe flow and its co-relation to the deposition phenomena at the pipe wall. An experimental flow loop was designed and built for visualization. A transparent model oil...
