This book provides a detailed description of the thermodynamic and transport theories for
wax deposition modeling as well as a comprehensive review of laboratory testing for the …

The research on the flowability of waxy oil has spanned more than a century and is still
attracting much attention. How to improve the flowability of waxy oil to ensure safe and …

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 …

Paraffin deposition in subsea pipelines is one of the flow assurance problems for oil and gas
production. A reliable paraffin deposition prediction tool is needed to develop mitigation …

Wax deposition data for a Brazilian crude oil was investigated using a facility designed to
study flow assurance problems related to waxy crude oils. This work reports the preliminary …

Wax deposition in subsea pipelines is a problem of enormous economic consequences. The
carbon number distribution (CND) is an important characteristic of the deposit because it …

Wax deposition brings severe challenges to the production, transportation, and storage of
crude oils. Accumulation of wax can block the pipeline, lead to equipment failure, and lose …

Determining the physicochemical properties of petroleum is important for rapid decision-
making during the production process. True boiling point (TBP) curve is the most important …

This research article investigates the effect of flow improvers on the rheological and
microscopic properties of a waxy crude oil of the western oil field of India, since the …

The wax deposition experiments under cold and hot flow conditions were conducted in a
flow loop apparatus using waxy crude oil. The wax precipitation characteristics and wax …
