Subject: Call for Papers: PetroPhase 2027 (June 13–17, 2027 • College Station, Texas)
Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to invite you to submit a technical abstract for the 27th International Conference on Petroleum Phase Behavior and Fouling (PetroPhase 2027), taking place June 13–17, 2027, across the Texas A&M University campus in College Station, Texas (Zachry Engineering Education Complex; Reception Dinner Location TBA; lodging recommended at Texas A&M Hotel).
Co-hosted by Texas A&M University and JACAM Catalyst, PetroPhase 2027 is the premier international venue dedicated to the chemistry, physics, thermodynamics, and field mitigation of petroleum fluids, heavy organics, and complex multiphase systems.

Paraffin wax crystallization, gel breakdown dynamics, pipeline restart pressures, inorganic scale precipitation (sulfates/carbonates/sulfides), and mitigation chemistry.
4. Track 4: Thermodynamics, PVT & Fluid-Mineral Phase Equilibria
Equations of state (PC-SAFT), high-pressure phase equilibria, hydrocarbon-water PVT, geochemical phase equilibria, and fluid-rock wettability alteration.
5. Track 5: Energy Transition, Emerging Technologies & Subsurface Mineralization
Decarbonization, CCUS dense CO2 thermodynamics, subsurface carbon mineralization, hydrogen storage, critical mineral phase separation from produced water, and AI/ML multiphase modeling.
