An asphaltene inhibitor is a chemical used in the oil and gas industry to remove asphaltenes from crude oil. Asphaltenes are the impurities found in crude oil that if not removed can choke refining equipment.
Specialist expertise and treatments mitigate the flow assurance challenges—such as plugs and deposits in the formation, tubing, separators, and other parts of the system—caused by asphaltene precipitation, thus minimizing nonproductive time and improving environmental compliance.
Inhibitors prevent asphaltenes from flocculating. They can be squeezed or continuously inject upstream of the process bubble point.
The most effective solution is formulated using field and also fluid data. A range of laboratory tests is conducted based on this data to simulate field conditions. These tests can include live-fluid organic solids deposition analysis.
Product performance is evaluated and also confirmed in the field by measuring changes to process and fluid properties using instrumental and chemical methods.
