1. The Stabilization of Asphaltenes in Different Crude Fractions: A Molecular Approach
The conditions of petroleum extraction may allow asphaltenes to precipitate, causing deposition that clogs wells, pipes and equipment, consequently reducing productivity. In this work, the solubility parameters and precipitation onset of polar fractions of heavy crudes from Brazilian fields were estimated using a simplified system of n-heptane/toluene mixtur

2. Recent Developments on the Elucidation of Colloidal Aspects of Asphaltenes and Their Relevance to Oilfield Problems
Asphaltenes constitute the heavy petroleum fraction responsible for deposition events that may lead to reduced oil production, therefore of great interest for flow assurance. These molecules self-assemble in solutions leading to formation of aggregates that eventually grow towards precipitation and blockages in reservoirs and pipelines. Based on the Yen-Mull

3. Investigation of Physicochemical Characteristics of Heavy, Medium and Blend Crude Petroleum on Corrosion Resistance of AISI 1020 Carbon Steel
This work investigates the influence of the physicochemical characteristics of heavy (17.5 °API), medium (28.3 °API) and blend (50% heavy + 50% medium) crude petroleum on corrosion of AISI 1020 carbon steel at 25.0 ± 1.0°C. The corrosion resistance of steel was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiodynamic polarization, and scanning

4. EVALUATION OF DISTILLATION CURVES FOR BIO-OIL OBTAINED FROM THERMAL CRACKING OF WASTE COOKING OIL
ABSTRACT Bio-oil obtained from thermal cracking of waste cooking oil (WCO) is a complex mixture of different chemical compounds and, like crude oil, it is composed mainly of hydrocarbons. The large number of compounds in bio-oil leads to complex and expensive methods for its properties determination. In this study, the distillation curves were constructed fo

5. AVALIAÇÃO DE ASFALTENOS PRECIPITADOS EM DIFERENTES CONDIÇÕES DE COMPOSIÇÃO, TEMPERATURA E PRESSÃO
Asphaltenes are a heavy fraction of petroleum with the ability for self-association, a phenomenon that can occur spontaneously in the reservoirs or in any of the various stages of production and processing, depending on variations in pressure, temperature, composition and shearing, among others. In this work, it was evaluated the precipitation of asphaltenes

6. BIOLEACHING OF METALS FROM A SPENT DIESEL HYDRODESULFURIZATION CATALYST EMPLOYING Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans FG-01
Abstract This study evaluates the recovery of heavy metals employing a spent catalyst from the hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of diesel, with no chemical, thermal or physical pretreatment, using the bacterial strain Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans FG-01. Direct and indirect bioleaching tests were carried out in Erlenmeyer flasks (500 mL). The influence of the pulp

7. Terpanos pentacíclicos como indicadores de heterogeneidades composicionais em reservatório de petróleo biodegradado
Reservoir geochemistry has been effectively used to evaluate compositional heterogeneity in petroleum reservoirs by employing oil fingerprinting technique to assess reservoir continuity, primarily in paraffin oil accumulations. In-reservoir biodegradation has resulted in vast deposits of heavy oils globally; therefore, the application of reservoir geochemist

8. Hydrodynamics and oxygen mass transfer characteristics of petroleum based micro-emulsions in a packed bed split-cylinder airlift reactor
The effects of aeration velocity and liquid properties on the pertinent hydrodynamic and mass transfer parameters in a split-cylinder airlift reactor (with and without packing) were examined. Four different oil-in-water micro-emulsion systems containing kerosene, heavy naphtha, light naphtha and diesel as the oil at the concentration of 7% (v/v) were used in

9. Simulação do impacto da disponibilidade de sistemas no retorno econômico e produção de petróleo / Simulation of the impact of system availability on profit and petroleum production
The reservoir simulation is the basis for the forecasts of production, dimensioning of surface equipments and the planning of activities related to production. Therefore, a production strategy which generates oil and gas production curves over the operational lifetime. However, even without considering geological and economic uncertainties, in practice, this

12. Avaliação de tecnologia para redução da viscosidade de resíduos pesados de petróleo utilizando laser / Assessing technology for reducing the viscosity of heavy petroleum residues using laser
The use of infrared radiation produced by a CO2 laser in visbreaking of heavy fractions of petroleum was assessed. The main criterion used to evaluate the technology was to compare the viscosities of atmospheric distillation residues before and after being irradiated under different operating conditions of the laser. A suitable profile for comparison was dev
