Study of Asphaltene Precipitation induced formation Damage during CO2 Injection for a Malaysian light oil

In this work, the precipitation of asphaltene from a Malaysian light oil reservoir was studies. A series of experiments were designed and carried out to examine the effect of CO2 injection on asphaltene precipitation. Different pressures of injections were used in Dynamic flooding experiment in ord...
