This paper investigates wax deposition as one of the major problems encountered in oil and
gas pipelines with a potential environmental damage and with huge financial implications. A …

Crude oil fouling of the equipment surfaces is a troublesome issue which leads to operating
difficulties, economic penalties, increased environmental impacts, and health and safety …

To study the effects of paraffin on viscosity of waxy crude oil and transport properties of small
molecules, light and waxy crude oil models were investigated at atmospheric pressure and …

In order to solve the problem of wax deposition in waxy crude oil from the Daqing oilfield,
cold fingers were used in the experimentation. Compared with other methods, the cold finger …

Abstract The improved GM (1, 1) models for predicting wax deposition thickness on the pipe
wall under different deposition times were established by introducing the idea of square root …

In the oil and gas industry, wax formation and deposition are common problems, particularly
during production and transportation. To better understand the expected behaviour of a …

The gelation of crude oil with high wax and asphaltene content at low temperatures often
results in the block of transportation pipeline in Africa. In recent years, it was reported that …

Introduction: Crude oil is a complex mixture consisting of different hydrocarbons such as
resins, asphaltenes, aromatics and paraffins. Wax deposition in oil pipelines is considered to …

The effect of pressure on the solidification of several saturated cyclic hydrocarbons and
three xylene isomers are experimentally determined with a variable-volume view cell at …

This study establishes an insulation crude oil pipeline wax deposition experimental device
and describes the experimental method for insulation crude oil pipeline wax deposition. The …
