Asphaltene deposition in pipelines disrupts the normal transportation of the fluid produced. The deposition within the pipeline depends on the content of saturates, aromatic, resin, and asphaltenes (SARA) in crude oil. SARA analysis is used in the petroleum industry to estimate the stability of asph...
