Abstract
ABSTRACTAsphaltene precipitation during natural depletion and miscible gas injection is a common problem in oilfields throughout the world. Therefore, predicting asphaltene phase behavior through thermodynamic modeling may help to control its precipitation and reduce the associated problems. In this work, a new modified cubic-plus-association (CPA) equation of state (EoS) was used to model asphaltene precipitation. This equation is based on a combination of a new physical part and an association term.The new physical part has an evolved cubic equation of state with a new attractive term in this work. The results of the new modification of CPA EoS were compared with the experimental data of two oil samples (oil samples 1 and 2) that belonged to Moradi et al. The results showed that this modified CPA EoS can predict asphaltene precipitation with good accuracy.
