Cyclopentane (CyC5) hydrate interparticle adhesion force measurements in the presence of small amounts of crude oil (up to 8 wt % in cyclopentane) were performed at 3.2 °C, under atmospheric pressure, using a micromechanical force apparatus. The adhesion forces obtained for cyclopentane hydrate in small amounts of crude oil in CyC5 bulk fluid were lower than those measured for CyC5 hydrate in pure CyC5 bulk fluid. CyC5 hydrate-normalized adhesive forces were measured to be on the order of 0.5 mN/m for samples containing approximately 5-8 wt % of Caratinga and Troika crude. Hydrate-normalized adhesive forces were found to increase when the surface-active components (including acids and asphaltenes) were removed from the crude oil. These results suggest that crude oils with high contents of acids and asphaltenes may be more likely to exhibit nonplugging tendencies in oil and gas flowlines. 6 Energy & fuels 23 ARTICULO Dieker, Laura E. 42386 Aman, Zachary M. 42387 George, Nathan C. 42388 170840 170840 0 0 0 0 238659 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-05 200045694 0 200045694 2026-03-05 15:13:11 2026-03-05 ARTICULO
