Abstract
Asphaltene are large molecular crude constituents and their existence is related to numerous problems. However, nanofluids have proven to be a very stable and effective way of dealing with asphaltene agglomerations. This research addresses the effectiveness of nanofluids as compared to traditional and available (FLOW-X) commercial inhibitors. The synthesis and characterization of two green NPs and the preparation of nanofluids were performed successfully in this study. It was found that by tuning the concentration of nanofluid, the efficiency increases by 17%. Crude samples have shown different responses to nano inhibitors. It was found that nanofluids increase asphaltene dissolution by nearly 22% as compared to commercial inhibitors.
