Asphaltenes Precipitation

Most crude oil contains a chemical compound called asphaltenes.  Asphaltenes can be easily destabilized, causing them to form an insoluble solid, or precipitate out, during many operations performed on a well. When this happens, wells can experience plugging that leads to decreased production. With a number of additives and solvent systems developed specifically to address this issue, we ensure treating fluids are less likely to destabilize asphaltenes, and can disperse or remove any that do form.
