Abstract
The Hildebrand solubility parameter has been applied in several areas of science and engineering, assuming a relevant role in new scientific developments and practical applications in industry. This review shows its importance and relationship with development of research in flow assurance activities, especially involving heavy fractions of oils such as asphaltenes, resins and wax. The examples described illustrate its relevance and scope in the approaches of interest of flow assurance. They also show that it is a versatile property for many new applications, including the development of methodologies to obtain more reliable values for the various petroleum fluids and theoretical developments for its estimation in a wide range of temperature and pressure.
