  The production of crude oil from a reservoir is a challenging task. The handling of solids is one of the foremost assignments that operators may face during the life of a field. These solids may have the characteristics of both forms: inorganic material and organic material. The first one can be classified as salts and sand and the second comes from the crude oil that includes: waxes, asphaltenes, hydrates, and naphtenates. Apart from sand, the rest of the solids usually precipitate due to changes in composition (Commingling of fluids), temperature, or pressure. Asphaltenes precipitation is regarded to main issues referred to narrower mitigation strategy. Precipitate solid can produce reservoir blockage and in situ wettability change, decreasing well productivity widely. Know the operational conditions (PTx) under which the precipitation phenomena has been.. View More»
