Abstract:One of the most concerning areas for asphaltene deposition is the near-wellbore region, where such deposition causes formation damage. The reservoir fluid of the Lake Maracaibo region is known to experience operational problems due to asphaltene deposition inducing production losses. A detailed asphaltene formation damage investigation was performed on the live oil samples from the Lake Maracaibo area. An unusual asphaltene precipitation envelop was observed for this fluid and reported in an earlier publicatio… Show more
