Asphaltene deposition is one of the major production problems during the life of a well. It can reduce well flow rate or cease the production totally. Prediction of asphaltene deposition profile along wellbore can identify most probable region of deposition and investigate the effect of different parameters on deposition profile. In this book a comprehensive model to predict asphaltene deposition profile along wellbore is developed. For this purpose thermal and hydrodynamic models of wellbore are coupled with asphaltene precipitation and deposition models, to develop a comprehensive model to...
