Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Organic chemistry
  • Optics

Oliver C. Mullins spends much of his time researching Asphaltene, Analytical chemistry, Organic chemistry, Molecule and Mineralogy. Asphaltene is a subfield of Chemical engineering that Oliver C. Mullins studies. His Analytical chemistry research includes themes of Wavelength, Ionization and Fluorescence spectrometry.

His work on Molecular orbital as part of his general Molecule study is frequently connected to Molecular size, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Mineralogy research incorporates elements of Formation fluid, Petroleum engineering, Langmuir–Blodgett film and Hydrocarbon. His research in Petroleomics tackles topics such as Refining which are related to areas like Petroleum.

His most cited work include:

  • Molecular Size and Structure of Asphaltenes from Various Sources (605 citations)
  • Advances in Asphaltene Science and the Yen–Mullins Model (592 citations)
  • The Modified Yen Model (576 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Asphaltene, Petroleum engineering, Analytical chemistry, Mineralogy and Reservoir fluid. His studies deal with areas such as Molecule, Petroleum and Thermodynamics as well as Asphaltene. When carried out as part of a general Thermodynamics research project, his work on Equation of state is frequently linked to work in Flory–Huggins solution theory, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His research integrates issues of Sampling and Contamination in his study of Petroleum engineering. His work deals with themes such as Spectroscopy, Carbon, Fraction and Ionization, which intersect with Analytical chemistry. His Spectroscopy research integrates issues from Spectral line and Near-infrared spectroscopy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Asphaltene (43.02%)
  • Petroleum engineering (37.04%)
  • Analytical chemistry (22.79%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Asphaltene (43.02%)
  • Petroleum engineering (37.04%)
  • Reservoir fluid (10.26%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Oliver C. Mullins focuses on Asphaltene, Petroleum engineering, Reservoir fluid, Mineralogy and Viscosity. The concepts of his Asphaltene study are interwoven with issues in Petroleum, Equation of state, Thermodynamics and Analytical chemistry. His Analytical chemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Absorption, Molecule and Alkyl.

In his study, Petroleum reservoir is strongly linked to Tar, which falls under the umbrella field of Petroleum engineering. His Reservoir fluid study incorporates themes from Characterization, Fluid property, Reservoir modeling and Hydrocarbon. Oliver C. Mullins has researched Mineralogy in several fields, including Light crude oil, Source rock and Solubility.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Unraveling the Molecular Structures of Asphaltenes by Atomic Force Microscopy (258 citations)
  • Clusters of Asphaltene Nanoaggregates Observed in Oilfield Reservoirs (101 citations)
  • Advances in the Flory–Huggins–Zuo Equation of State for Asphaltene Gradients and Formation Evaluation (81 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Organic chemistry
  • Optics

His primary areas of study are Asphaltene, Petroleum engineering, Analytical chemistry, Mineralogy and Petroleum. His study on Asphaltene is covered under Organic chemistry. His work on Reservoir fluid as part of general Petroleum engineering study is frequently connected to Environmental science, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His research in Analytical chemistry intersects with topics in Relaxation, Time-of-flight mass spectrometry and Alkyl. His work carried out in the field of Mineralogy brings together such families of science as Total organic carbon, Reservoir modeling, Oil shale, Black oil and Solubility. His Petroleum study combines topics in areas such as Instability, Thermodynamic equilibrium and Coal.
