Multi-alkylated aromatic amides amphiphiles effectively stabilize the associated asphaltene particles in crude oil

Fei Yang et al.

Summary: In this study, a series of multi-alkylated aromatic amides (MAA) amphiphiles were synthesized and evaluated as asphaltene dispersants for Saudi crude oil. Experimental results showed that adding MAA-3 significantly increased the initial flocculation point, reduced the size of asphaltene aggregates, and increased the viscosity of the oil sample. The number of alkyl side chains was found to affect the performance of the asphaltene dispersants, with MAA-3 exhibiting the best performance. Molecular simulation results further validated the experimental findings.

Performance improvement of Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Pour Point Depressant (EVA PPD) by adding small dosages of Laurylamine (LA)

Xue Xia et al.

Summary: Lauramine is considered an asphaltene flocculant that plays a crucial role in improving the rheology of Qinghai waxy crude oil modified by EVA PPDs. The optimal dosage of LA enhances the agglomeration degree and reduces fine wax crystals, while excessive LA dosage can lead to asphaltene aggregation and hinder EVA adsorption, affecting the formation of EVA/asphaltenes composite particles.

Comprehensive molecular scale modeling of anionic surfactant-asphaltene interactions

Mohammadali Ahmadi et al.

Summary: Using molecular dynamics simulation, this study evaluated the interactions between asphaltene and anionic surfactants under thermodynamic conditions close to thermal-based oil recovery. The presence of a benzene ring in a surfactant structure was found to enhance interactions, especially van der Waals interactions. Furthermore, the position and number of heteroatoms in asphaltene architecture play a crucial role in its behavior in a solution.
