About this document
Asphaltene Precipitation Modeling Guide by Luis Oliveros is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes modeling asphaltene precipitation from reservoir oil due to pressure depletion using computer software. It involves 4 steps: 1) fluid characterization, 2) regression on PVT data, 3) specifying solid model parameters, 4) predicting precipitation behavior. An example is provided using data on an oil called Burke Oil 1. The asphaltene component is modeled by splitting the heaviest oil fraction into precipitating and non-precipitating parts with different interaction coefficients.
