Asphaltene Deposition during CO2 Injection in an Iranian Carbonate Reservoir – An Experimental and Simulation Approach

In a CO2 miscible displacement process, the injected CO2 solvent can induce flocculation and deposition<br>of asphaltenes and other heavy organic particles. This can cause numerous production problems with a<br>detrimental effect on oil recovery. Therefore, it is important to understand the behavior of this organic<br>matter under reservoir operating conditions.
