After a nearly decade absence, we present a review of noteworthy contributions in
petroleum analysis over the past 3 years, intentionally limited to∼ 250 references. The …

Application of Polymeric nanocomposites as pour point depressant (PPD) for crude oil has
opened the doors for a new area of research in the petroleum industry. In this research work …

During production of crude oil, surface temperature is much less than reservoir temperature.
As a result hindrance in flow occurs due to wax precipitation in surface flowlines and if the …

This paper reports the rheological and thermodynamic characterization of the wax formation
phenomenon in three Mexican crude oils where the effect of waxes and asphaltenes content …

Deposition of Wax is a challenging issue in the upstream oil and gas production process.
Thus, precise estimating of this deposition/precipitation issue can increase the performance …

During the production of oil and gas, barium sulfate (BaSO 4) scale occurs on the inner walls
of the tubes leading the reduction of the internal diameter, making the fluid passage difficult …

This research work focuses on the development of two polymeric compounds poly (n-
dodecyl linoleate–co-succinic anhydride) and poly (n-dodecyl ricinoleate–co-succinic …

Pour point depressant (PPD) activity mechanisms include solubilization, morphology
alteration, and steric/entropic repulsion. A wealth of complex intermolecular interactions …

A diversity of solution has been used and utilized to minimize cold flow properties problems
caused by paraffins crystallization during production and/or transportation of waxy crude …

Wax deposition in pipelines transporting crude oil is a serious problem as wax tends to
precipitate under low temperature conditions observed during pipeline flow. The current …
