Colloidal Structural Evolution from Stable to Flocculated State of Asphaltene Solutions and Heavy Crudes

  • Chapter
Structures and Dynamics of Asphaltenes

Abstract

The petroleum industry is often concerned with the production, transportation and refining of heavy crude oils rich in asphaltenes. A successful addressing of the many difficulties encountered in these processes relies on a precise understanding of the chemical properties and colloidal behavior of asphaltenes under various thermodynamic and flow conditions. Whereas asphaltenes are generally considered to be the major factor responsible for these difficulties, the influence of the other constituents of oil, such as resins, must not be overlooked.
