Molecular Design of the Amphiphilic Polymer as a Viscosity Reducer for Heavy Crude Oil: From Mesoscopic to Atomic Scale

Jipeng Xu et al.

Summary: The study reveals the importance of using an appropriate viscosity reducer during the heavy crude oil exploitation process. By combining dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation and all-atom simulation, the research successfully designs a new amphiphilic polymer as an efficient viscosity reducer by analyzing the properties of primary polymers in the oil-water system and the interaction mechanism between asphaltene and polymer molecules.

Molecular Dynamics Study of the Aggregation Behavior of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Molecules in n-Heptane-Toluene Mixtures: Assessing the Heteroatom Content Effect

Luna Ramirez et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the aggregation behavior of four PA3-type asphaltene molecules dissolved in three different solvents using molecular dynamics simulations. Results showed that molecules with heteroatoms exhibited a stronger tendency to aggregate in n-heptane. The inclusion of heteroatoms increased the polarity and planarity of the molecules, enhancing the aggregation tendency in all solvents, especially in n-heptane.

Effects of heteroatom and aliphatic chains of asphaltene molecules on their aggregation properties in aromatics Solvents: A molecular dynamics simulation study

Mahmoud Rahmati

Summary: The investigation focused on the aggregation of N9 asphaltene molecules in aromatic solvents, revealing that their tendency to aggregate is influenced by the OH groups and pi-stacking interactions between carbon rings. The behavior of N9 asphaltene molecules varies in different aromatic solvents, with complete solubility in phenols and closer proximity in isopropylbenzene. The results confirm the impact of molecular structure, including poly aromatic compounds, heteroatoms, and aliphatic chains, on the aggregation mechanism.

Investigation on the mechanism of wax deposition inhibition induced by asphaltenes and wax inhibitors

Fei Yang et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the impacts and mechanisms of asphaltenes and wax inhibitors on the wax deposition characteristics of model waxy oil. It is found that the presence of asphaltenes and wax inhibitors can lead to thinner and harder wax deposits, without significantly affecting the solubility of wax crystals. Additionally, the adsorption of EVA molecules on asphaltene surfaces can improve crude oil rheology at low temperatures and inhibit wax deposition.
