Any latest development in the world of asphaltene inhibitor and asphaltene in general?

Corrosion Inhibitor Chemical Manufacturer
Dear Manfred, I agree with your assessment, but think that perhaps by "chemical industry" we mean different things: I mean chemical manufactures capable of producing large scale volumes of molecules. You might mean chemical service companies that cater to the oil industry. In the first case, unless a chemical molecule is specifically identified, and the market is well defined, then it is difficult to imagine investing resources to produce the chemical. This has been, and still appears to be the status quo, as each geologic formation seems to produce its own, unique asphaltene for which only a customized dispersant formulation seems effective for each application.
