Asphaltene Precipitation

Asphaltene Precipitation is a thermodynamic phase behavior phenomenon in petroleum systems wherein asphaltenes, the heaviest and most polar fraction of crude oil, irreversibly separate from the bulk oil phase and form solid aggregates due to destabilization induced by changes in pressure, temperature, composition, or solvent quality during processes such as gas injection enhanced oil recovery.
