The role of lighter oil components on CO2-induced swelling and pressure decay dynamics under reservoir conditions by Bilal Zulfiqar, Moh’d Amro, Helmut Geistlinger

“…An ordered short-chain alkane-CO2-alkane structure forms at the CO2-crude oil interface through CO2 binding bridges and increases the oil volume until the CO2-crude oil system reaches partitioning equilibrium.Concurrently, we conducted independent pressure decay analysis and evaluated key kinetic parameters for varying compositions of crude oil. With an increasing proportion of lighter components in the crude oil, we observed a significant increase in the concentration profile of dissolved CO2 within the crude oil phase, and the partition equilibrium shifted toward higher dissolved CO2 concentrations. …”
