wax deposition
-
This paper highlights a thermodynamic modeling approach used to determine the optimal depth for installation of a wax-inhibition tool. -
The authors of this paper discuss a biosurfactant treatment that offers an economical method for remediation of formation damage caused by high-molecular-weight paraffin wax deposition in porous media.
-
The authors of this paper discuss a robust omniphobic surface treatment material shown to significantly reduce the adhesion of flow-assurance solids.
-
SponsoredParaffins present in crude oil can gel or precipitate, which can cause pipeline and production system blockages. Dow’s ACCENT wax inhibitors are high-active, aqueous-based chemistry, that efficiently control paraffin deposition in pipelines.
-
SponsoredFlow assurance provides value throughout the entire oil and gas production value chain. Ensuring an uninterrupted flow of hydrocarbon fluids from the reservoir to delivery is key for your operation and profitability.
-
Comprehension of the mechanisms that influence wax deposition in oil-production systems has not yet been achieved fully. This paper investigates the influence of the Reynolds number on wax deposition.
-
Current logistics and pipeline-infrastructure limitations make transportation and production of waxy crude oil challenging, necessitating a step change in the chemistry required to mitigate crude-oil-composition issues.
-
This paper presents a case study that is an example of how reassessing a flow-assurance risk-management strategy for operating assets can identify opportunities for optimization.
-
In this study, the effects of the hydrodynamic parameters are decoupled with specially designed flow-loop experiments. The results enhance understanding of the deposition behavior at various hydrodynamic conditions and aid in scaling up from laboratory to field conditions.
