Example of wax formation in a production process pipeline.
Fluid characterization and chemical testing mitigates wax formation – offshore deepwater field.
Initial analysis of a small oil sample recovered at the time of drilling, showed it was a waxy crude oil.
Oil Plus independently evaluated the performance of six commercially available wax treatment chemicals.
Oil Plus recommended that, if applied correctly, adding the recommended pour point depressant chemical would resolve flow assurance issues, providing an ROI of $105.18M.
