Asphaltene precipitation and deposition in different parts of petroleum industry increase considerably cost and problems in oil production. Due to these facts controlling asphaltene precipitation becomes one of valuable topics for research in petroleum engineering. Utilization of Asphaltene inhibitors is known as one of the dominant methods for controlling asphaltene precipitation so in this paper Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is joint with Genetic Algorithm (GA) to study effectiveness of asphaltene inhibitors on precipitation in terms of oil and inhibitors properties. In order to prepare and evaluate the ANFIS-GA algorithm, some reliable experimental data were gathered. The obtained results from the comparison shows the coefficient of determination (R2) for training and testing phases are 0.98804 and 0.9916 respectively. The determined indexes and graphical comparisons expresses that ANFIS-GA has enough accuracy and potential to estimate effectiveness of inhibitors on asphaltene precipitation reductions.
