Characterization of Asphaltene Deposition Behavior in Diluted Heavy Oil under High-Pressure Conditions

Some oil wells in the Tahe oilfield have been reported to produce extremely heavy oil due to asphaltene deposition. To enhance the flow of crude oil through the wellbore, engineers adopted the use of light oil from nearby wells to dissolve the heavy crude in the wells’ sections to maximize recovery...
