摘要

Asphaltenes are the n-pentane or n-heptane insoluble fractionsrnof crude oil that remain in solution under reservoirrntemperature and pressure conditions. They are destabilizedrnand start to precipitate when the pressure, temperature and/orrncomposition changes occur during primary production. Thernprecipitated asphaltene particles will then grow in size andrnmay start to deposit onto the production string and/orrnflowlines, causing operational problems.rnIn this paper, our emphasis is to identify the firstrnpressure and/or temperature conditions at which the asphaltenernwill start to precipitate for two reservoir oils. Four differentrnlaboratory techniques were independently used to define thernonset of the asphaltene precipitation envelope. These methodsrnare 1) gravimetric, 2) acoustic resonance, 3) light scattering,rnand 4) filtration. The gravimetric method was found to bernprecise and within the accuracy of the analytical methods.rnHowever, the method was time consuming. The acousticrnresonance technique (ART) was fast and less subjective, but itrndid not define the lower asphaltene boundary. Therninterpretation of the onset pressure from the near-infraredrn(NIR) light-scattering technique (LST) was subjective to arndegree. However, the NIR response defined the upper andrnlower boundaries of the asphaltene envelope and thernbubblepoint pressure, as did the gravimetric technique. In arnway similar to those of the gravimetric technique and LST, thernfiltration technique can also define the upper and lowerrnasphaltene phase boundaries in addition to the bubblepointrnpressure. The filtration technique is fast compared torngravimetric technique, but takes more time than the ART andrnLST methods.
