Experimental and Theoretical Study of Hydrodynamic Behavior and Mechanisms of Asphaltene Deposition, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Ghotbi, Cyrus (Supervisor) ; Taghikhani, Vahid (Supervisor) ; Shahrabadi, Abbas (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this work, a new model based on the multilayer adsorption kinetic mechanism and four material balance equations for oil, asphaltene, gas and water phase has been developed to account asphaltene deposition in porous media under dynamic condition and the model was verified using experimental data obtained in this work and also with those reported in the literature. The results showed that the developed model can correlate more accurately the oil flooding experimental data in comparison to the previous models based on the mechanical plugging mechanism, in particular in carbonate core samples. Also, a series of experiments was carried to determine the permeability reduction of carbonate,...
