Produktbeschreibung

As global consumption of fossil fuels such as oil increases, previously abundant sources have become depleted or plagued with obstructions. Asphaltene deposition is one of such obstructions which can significantly decrease the rate of oil production. This book offers concise yet thorough coverage of the complex problem of asphaltene precipitation and deposition in oil production. It covers fundamentals of chemistry, stabilization theories and mechanistic approaches of asphaltene behavior at high temperature and pressure. Asphaltene Deposition: Fundamentals, Prediction, Prevention, and Remediation explains techniques for experimental determination of asphaltene precipitation and deposition and different modeling tools available to forecast the occurrence and magnitude of asphaltene deposition in a given oil field. It discusses strategies for mitigation of asphaltene deposition using chemical inhibition and corresponding challenges, best practices for asphaltene remediation, current research, and case studies.

Rezensionen

"The first book I've seen that discusses key variables in asphaltene deposition and the short comings and misunderstandings arising from the test procedures. This text also discusses modeling and prediction of the amount of asphaltenes at a given set of conditions which is key to modelling deposition. Chapter 8 giving working examples relevant to engineering for asphaltene deposition is truly unique."

"The Table of Contents covers the relevant topics of Asphaltene Deposition and the sample chapters reflect up to date work on the respective subjects that are covered. The book should be of interest to researchers who work on asphaltenes and to lecturers in graduate courses like the one I give regularly on: Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels."

"Asphaltene Deposition: Fundamentals, Prediction, Prevention, and Remediation is a comprehensive and important new resource. The editors, with years of experience in this area, have compiled some of the latest developments on asphaltene characterization and properties, experiments and modeling, precipitation and prevention, field applications and future trends in nine chapters. This book is an invaluable resource for those working in the petroleum production and processing industry, and I recommend it to every practicing engineer as well as researchers and scientists working in the field."
