Alternation of asphaltene binding arrangement in the presence of chemical inhibitors: Molecular dynamics simulation strategy

Ali Ghamartale et al.

Summary: Asphaltene deposition is a challenge in petroleum production and chemical inhibitors are commonly used to mitigate it. This study used molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the impact of chemical inhibitors on the binding arrangement of two asphaltene structures. The results showed that organic sulfuric acid and ionic liquids can interfere with asphaltene aggregation.

Effect of ammonium based ionic liquids on the rheological behavior of the heavy crude oil for high pressure and high temperature conditions

Sivabalan Sakthivel et al.

Summary: Heavy crude oil (HCO) poses challenges to the oil and gas industry due to its high viscosity. This study investigated the effect of eco-friendly ionic liquids (ILs) on HCO's rheology at high temperature and pressure. The results showed that the addition of ILs substantially reduced the viscosity and yield stress of HCO, making it more flowable. Furthermore, ILs increased the loss modulus of HCO, transforming its solid-like nature into a liquid-like material.

Combined experimental and molecular dynamics investigation of 1D rod-like asphaltene aggregation in toluene-hexane mixture

Laxman Kumar Kundarapu et al.

Summary: The aggregation behavior of asphaltene in the toluene-hexane mixture was systematically investigated using a combination of experimental techniques and molecular dynamics simulations. The study focused on determining the size of asphaltene aggregates, understanding their formation and interaction with the solvent mixture, and calculating the dynamical properties such as diffusion coefficient and shear viscosity.Comparison with experimental findings highlighted the importance of a combined experimental and theoretical study for deeper insights into asphaltene aggregation behavior.
