Bissolution of Solid Deposits and Asphaltenes Isolated from crude Oil Production Facilities

摘要

Solid deposits that precipitate in oil production facilities are extremely complex materials. The most insoluble asphaltene fractions, inorganic species, very large alkanes,. And insoluble hydrocarbon species often contribute to their formation. IN this work, five dissolution techniques were explored to investigate their dissolution in organic solvents. Three of the approaches were based on common laboratory hardware designed for temperature and mixing control.
