The authors have presented an argument for the possibility of REFPROP software package application for thermophysical properties control of the liquefied hydrocarbon mixtures depending on the composition including design and measured data of phase…
Petroleum quality indicators should be monitored at all stages of petroleum production, preparation and transportation quickly and efficiently. Such a critically important indicator as the mass fraction of water in petroleum determines not only its…
In this research, a new method for evaluating the lubricating properties of prophylactic agents was developed. For the method, specialized metal models and a press with a strain-gauge s-shaped gauge, using for recording shear load indicators, were…
The physical chemistry of the brine-crude oil interface is immensely complex as a result of the complexity of the crude oil itself, and access to the detailed phenomena occurring at this interface is extremely difficult. Understanding these phenomena…

One of the main environmental problems in oil production in the world today is the utilization of associated petroleum gas (APG) by combustion it in flares. At the same time, this process has enormous economic damage, since APG is a potential raw…
The processing, production, and transport of heavy crude oils are big challenges for the petroleum industry. Central to this challenge is the fluid viscosity: the key variable responsible for the oil fluidity throughout the entire production process.…
