Asphaltene precipitation and its subsequent deposition always remain a major concern for Oil industry. Formulation of comprehensive reliable risk management system asphaltene prone wells fields is challenging task because the influence diverse factors. In this study, decision support developed assessment in fields. Since, data present literature scarce not consistent, therefore, hypothetical their was considered to conduct study comprehensively. Three namely; Field A, B C were assumed each field ten taken into consideration. A assessing using one popular powerful multi-criteria making technique i.e. Fuzzy Technique Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) coupled with Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP). The evaluated three criteria Detection, Severity Controls. These further sub-divided sub-criteria assumed. transformed Triangular fuzzy numbers calculations. According final outcomes, proved be most risky followed last comes C. outcomes validated other method Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) all TOPSIS found good relationship COPRAS. proposed methodology will landmark ranking
