Asphaltene analysis takes a giant step
Rice researchers develop accurate measure of aggregating particles that block oil production lines
26-Feb-2015 -
Rice University researchers have developed an easy and accurate technique to detect and quantify the amount of asphaltene precipitated from crude oils, which bedevils the oil industry by clogging wells and flow lines.Asphaltene is a complex of hydrocarbon molecules found in crude. As the name ...
