In this study, a light crude oil sample was taken from Hassi Messaoud field to characterize its physicochemical properties. The asphaltene flocculation onset was determined in the dead oil by Flocculation Titrimeter equipment. The petroleum resins have been extracted from the same crude oil and tested as an inhibitor of asphaltene flocculation then their efficiency has been studied at different conditions of pressure and temperature. The results point out that the extracted resins may have two different effects on the onset point depending upon the operator conditions and the concentration of the added resins to crude oil.
