Experimental assessment of chemical solvents for asphaltic sludge removal to mitigate formation damage in oil reservoirs

Abstract The reaction between acid and crude oil during oil well acidizing results in the formation of asphaltic sludge, a protonated complex enriched with H⁺ ions that forms within oil reservoirs. Its intricate structure and limited solubility make removal challenging, distinguishing it from asphal...
