| Popis: | Asphaltene deposition is one of the major flow assurance problems that can potentially deteriorate due to the current tendencies to produce from the deep-water environment or as a result of enhanced oil recovery operations based on miscible gas injection. The deposited asphaltenes in the wellbores and on the surface of the oilfield pipelines can impede the productivity of the wells significantly. The comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms and the techniques to control asphaltene deposition at high temperature and under dynamic conditions can help resolve this critical issue. Thus, it is imperative to develop reliable, straightforward, and inexpensive tools to investigate the asphaltene deposition tendency and the performance of asphaltene inhibitors in the laboratory. In this work, a new stainless steel packed bed column deposition system that was inspired by the work of Vilas Boas Favero et al. was successfully developed. The packed bed design allows the feasibility of investigating a variety of f... |
