Description
Summary:This work allows us to analyze the thermodynamic conditions of the onset of precipitation asphaltenes occurs, we describe a methodology to quantify the precipitated solids by using simulation software, which performs calculations based on the information about the oil properties and reservoir conditions. Also determined the asphaltene precipitation envelope (APE) oil in Colorado, the characterization of the thermodynamic conditions of precipitation. We conclude that no asphaltene precipitation problems in the surface facilities of Colorado field, this occurred at the initial conditions of the reservoir oil until to reach the saturation point, causing damage to the formation.
