摘要：

Aggregation and growth of asphaltenes in crude oils of different stability were studied using the titration method and confocal microscopy. Confocal images show a new interpretation for the titration curve. Results show that the flocks growing process and flocks characteristics depend on the crude oil nature and can be related with the stability. High-resolution micrographic images demonstrate that titration trace behavior can be correlated with the crude oil stability.
