Oil wax deposition and precipitation are becoming a major problem during oil production,
transportation, and refining. Deposition mitigation by chemical additives, like polymer and …

With the continuous depletion of easy-to produce oil resources, the effective and low-cost
exploitation and upgrading of heavy oil becomes a key to alleviate the contradiction …

Waxy crude oil has become a crucial unconventional oil alternative owing to the depleting
conventional oil resources. However, ascertaining flow assurance in a waxy crude oil …

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 …

Graphene oxide (GO)-incorporated poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) nanocomposites
(PMMA-GO) have demonstrated a wide range of outstanding mechanical, electrical, and …

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 …

Polymers and surfactants are increasingly applied to improve the cold flow properties of
diesel fuel. However, their depressive effects are closely related to the molecular structure of …

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 …

With the depletion of conventional oil resources, waxy crude oil has become a focus of
development. Wax deposition is prone to occur in crude oil at low temperatures, and can …

Electrical treatment is an emerging method for improving the cold flowability of waxy crude
oil by taking advantage of the electrorheological effect of the oil. Previous investigations …
