2015 AIChE Annual Meeting Proceedings

Session: Heavy Oil and Flow Assurance

This session will address fundamental characterization of oils and their bulk and thermodynamic properties including rheological properties. We will also consider contributions about thermodynamic, flow and integrated models, and papers addressing oil compatibility issues.
