Abstract

In this paper, a systematic approach for the investigation of asphaltene problems in reservoirs during primary production, pressure depletion and Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) processes under gas injection process are presented along with the results of the initial laboratory results on the characterization and phase behavior of typical crude oil samples from Kuwaiti reservoirs.
