Study the performance of solvents for the traitment of asphaltene deposits in the field of Hassi Messaoud
Despite the fact that Algerian crude oil contains only small quantities of asphaltenes. These are the heaviest and most polar fraction of crude oil. These compounds are responsible for the formation of deposits due to their strong tendency to self-aggregation. The deposit of asphaltenes represents a serious problem for the operation of many wells in the Hassi Messaoud field. This problem severely affects the production operations and generates a significant increase in costs due to the prevention and removal of deposits. Based on the SARA analysis and the analysis of the oil composition, aspha
