Asphaltenes deposition is considered a serious production problem. The literature does not include enough comprehensive studies on adsorption phenomenon involved in asphaltenes deposition utilizing inhibitors. In addition, effective protocols on hand...

The hydraulic fracturing technique remains essential to unlock fossil fuel from shale oil reservoirs. However, water imbibed by shale during hydraulic fracturing triggers environmental and technical challenges due to the low flowback water recovery....

Currently, the alteration of external factors during crude oil extraction easily disrupts the thermodynamic equilibrium of asphaltene, resulting in the continuous flocculation and deposition of asphaltene molecules in crude oil. This accumulation wit...

The deposition of asphaltenes poses a critical challenge to the petroleum industry, reducing the efficiency of oil wells and, in severe cases, clogging pipelines. Dispersants are widely used to enhance asphaltene stability, but asphaltenes are comple...

This comprehensive review examines chemical and nano-based methods for asphaltene inhibition in the oil industry, focusing on recent developments and challenges. Asphaltene precipitation and deposition remain significant challenges in oil production,...

The article presents the chemical composition of vermiculite ores from the Kulantau deposits and the atomic structure of vermiculite during dehydration, in 1-, 2- and 3-layer hydrated states. It has been shown that vermiculites from deposits in the T...

Using salt caverns for an underground strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) is considered as an ideal approach due to the excellent characteristics of low porosity, low permeability, self-healing of damage, and strong plastic deformation ability of rock...
