    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for prevent the formation of and disperse aggregates and other poorly soluble materials in hydrocarbon fluids. The compositions include an asphaltene dispersant prepared from the reaction of a polyethyleneimine (PEI) dendrimer and one or more derivatizing reagents wherein the polyethylene dendrimer has a weight average molecular weight of greater than or equal to 9 kDa. The methods include emplacing in a wellbore a composition comprising an asphaltene inhibitor, wherein the asphaltene inhibitor is a compound prepared from the reaction of a polyethyleneimine dendrimer and one or more derivatizing reagents wherein the polyethylene dendrimer has a weight average molecular weight of greater than or equal to 9 kDa.

    Abstract: Compositions may include an asphaltene dispersant that is the product of a reaction between a polysaccharide having at least two sugar subunits and one or more fatty acid reagents, and a petroleum fluid produced from a subterranean formation and containing asphaltenes therein. The asphaltene dispersant may have a molecular weight of at least 4000 Da. Compositions may further include an aromatic solvent. Methods may include contacting a hydrocarbon fluid with an asphaltene dispersant dissolved in an aromatic solvent, wherein the asphaltene dispersant is the product of the reaction of a polysaccharide and one or more fatty acid reagents. Methods may also include contacting a hydrocarbon fluid with an asphaltene, wherein the asphaltene dispersant is the product of the reaction of a polysaccharide and one or more fatty acid reagents and has a molecular weight of at least 4000 Da.

    Abstract: A sag flow loop may include: a test section; a pump configured to at least pump fluid containing particles suspended therein at variable rates through the sag flow loop including the test section, the variable rates inducing formation of a bed of particles settled out of the fluid in the test section; and a flow meter densitometer configured to measure density of the fluid flowing through the sag flow loop. The sag flow loop may be configured to determine a sag of the particles in the fluid. The pump, the flow meter densitometer, and the test section may be connected via flowlines. The sag flow loop may have a volumetric capacity of less than four liters.
