asphaltenes

This work investigates the root cause of strong oil/water emulsion and if sludge formation is occurring within the reservoir using a robust integrated approach.

This paper reports the observation of stealth asphaltenes, a potential flow-assurance issue, by means of experimental analysis.

The authors of this paper discuss a robust omniphobic surface treatment material shown to significantly reduce the adhesion of flow-assurance solids.

This paper describes strategies for mitigating asphaltene deposition using fiberglass-lined production tubing and the successful trials thereof.

Researchers use novel methodology to measure the thermo-electric properties of native crude.

Asian spot prices for LNG took a dive to multiyear lows, feeling the pressure of the lack of demand. Holders of previously agreed upon long-term buyer contracts seek renegotiation.

The decision follows a previous $10-billion investment in LNG the country made in 2017. While that investment focused on outside energy supply sources, this one will be used to develop infrastructure in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.

Located offshore the city of Batangas, approximately 2 hours south of Manila, the Luzon LNG project will include a fully integrated turnkey FLNG terminal, arranging the necessary supply of LNG and distribution of natural gas across the island of Luzon.

Coal remains the biggest challenge to LNG in Asia.

This paper discusses how demand for LNG has affected shipping routes as well as trade issues between the suppliers and importers of natural gas.
