Deposition of asphaltenes on the inner surface of oil wells and pipelines causes flow blockage or significant production loss in these conduits. Generally, asphaltenes are stable in reservoir condition; however, change in pressure, temperature, and composition can trigger phase separation and then deposition of asphaltene along the flow stream. Therefore, it is required to identify the possibility of asphaltene precipitation and accurately quantify deposition tendency of these heavy organic molecules. This work is aimed at detailed assessment of the predictive capability of five deposition models available in the literature for calculating the magnitude and profile of asphaltene deposition in wellbores. To end this, firstly we discuss and describe these five models known as Friedlander and
