Topical Areas
The topical sessions for PetroPhase 2018 will be designed based on the number and quality of submissions received. In past meetings, the primary topical sessions were:
Petroleum Chemistry – Analysis and characterization of petroleum chemical species including asphaltenes, resins, naphthenates, etc.
Petroleum Properties – Phase equilibria, physical properties, physical & chemical associations, fluid interactions, etc.
Emulsions – From fundamental studies to field experience in the understanding and handling of petroleum emulsion in production and refining operations.
Flow Assurance (Waxy Oils) – From fundamental studies to field experience in the understanding and management of flow assurance issues related to wax, including wax deposition and gelled pipeline restart.
Flow Assurance (Low Wax Oils) – From fundamental studies to field experience in the understanding and management of flow assurance issues related to hydrates, asphaltenes, and naphthenic acid salts.
Upgrading & Fouling in Refining – From fundamental studies to field experience in the understanding and management of fouling from asphaltenes, coking, and long chain polymerization (gum deposits) in heat exchangers, furnaces, and other refinery units.
Shale Oil & Gas – Discussion of the unique flow and phase behavior challenges of tight formations that have revolutionized oil and gas production in the past 15 years.
