The continuous depletion of global oil reserves with the propensity for light distillates propels the oil and gas industry to explore heavier fractions of crude oils with significant amount of …
A number of difficulties may be encountered in the final stages of oil field exploitation, including the formation of asphalt–resin–paraffin deposits (ARPDs). It is expedient to use …

A synthesized polymeric pour point depressant (PPD) from olive oil (Olea Europaea) was used to reduce the pour point and rheology improvement. A maximum reduction of 8° C in …
Wax present in crude oil starts to precipitate during flow through the pipeline below the wax appearance temperature (WAT). The phenomenon creates problems during transportation …
This research article deals with the application of shikakai fruit (Senegalia rugata) extract (SE) used as a novel bio-additive for improving flow properties of waxy crude oil (WCO) to …
Heavy oil and water dispersed flows in a 0.0254 m, 0.0381 m, 0.0508 m ID horizontal pipelines (Pipeline length= 2.5 m) were investigated experimentally and numerically (at …
Pour-point depressants (PPDs) were synthesized from natural sources and used in waxy crude oil transportation to reduce the pour point and improve flow. A biodegradable PPD …
The hydrodynamic entrance length, pressure drop analysis, viscosity, and fully developed velocity profile in horizontal pipe for crude oil with and without water and surfactant were …
