Technical Notes

1.Used in the studies related enhanced oil recovery process, when oilfields face severe flow assurance

problems due to formation of deposits and soaps, generally termed naphthenates. Naphthenate deposition occurs mainly during upstream operations, commonly at the oil/water cutoff point1-8.

2.Used in the viscosity reduction process of heavy oil by catalytic co-pyrolysis with sawdust^[9].
