Figure S1. The mean square displacement (MSD) of each oil component in the mesopore of model-H (upper) and model-L (lower).
Figure S2. The masscenter trajectories and mean square displacement (MSD) of carbazoles in representative aggregates/clusters in the mesopore of model-H (right)
and mode-L (left). The unwrapped x-coordinates (a1, b1, c1, d1,e1 and f1) and y-coordinates (a2, b2, c2, d2, e2 and f2) are employed for the sake of continuity. The
horizontal dashed lines in (a3,b3 and c3) approximatively correspond to the position of oil/brine interfaces of model-H, and the ends of vertical axis in (d3, e3, and f3)
correspond to the position of pore walls of model-L. The diffusion coefficient (D) of each aggregate/cluster was averaged based on the corresponding molecules.
Figure S3. Number density profiles of hydrocarbon (a), organic acid (b), carbazole (c), and thioether
(d) along z-direction in model-H under EMD and NEMD simulations. The hydrogen atoms in all
organics were excluded in the calculation of z-density profiles. The ends of horizontal axis of z-

organics were excluded in the calculation of z-density profiles. The ends of horizontal axis of z-
in model-H and model-L under EMD and NEMD simulations. end-to-end distance means the
distance between the head and tail carbon atom of targeted molecule.
