Title: Enhancing the Effectiveness of Carbon Dioxide Flooding by Managing Asphaltene Precipitation

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/791835· OSTI ID:791835

This project was undertaken to understand fundamental aspects of carbon dioxide (CO2) induced asphaltene precipitation. Oil and asphaltene samples from the Rangely field in Colorado were used for most of the project. The project consisted of pure component and high-pressure, thermodynamic experiments, thermodynamic modeling, kinetic experiments and modeling, targeted corefloods and compositional modeling.
