The present review covers the heat transfer literature published in 2004 in English
language, including some translations of foreign language papers. Though extensive, some …

Summarized in this review are a large number of experimental and modelling studies for
advancing the heat‐transfer‐based mechanism for solid deposition from “waxy” or paraffinic …

An experimental study is conducted to determine the wax deposition potential of three waxy
crude oils during laminar flow in a pipeline system. The Taguchi experimental design …

The experimental trend of a reduced deposit with an increasing flow rate has been observed
in a series of wax studies. Despite the fact that many previous studies intuitively attribute the …

Wax deposition in subsea crude oil pipelines remains one of the major operational issues in
oil production. Environmental and operational conditions have a massive impact on how …

Operating temperatures have major impacts on wax deposition. Although significant
research efforts have been expended on this topic, no satisfactory agreement has been …

“Cold flow” refers to the pipeline flow of a “waxy” crude oil at a temperature, which is below
its wax appearance temperature (WAT) and above its pour point temperature (PPT) …

The relevance of research lies in the need to assess the change in rheological properties of
oil in the process of wax deposits formation. The existing correlation dependences make it …

During the oil production, the occurrence of such a complication as the formation of wax
deposits is not uncommon. The fight against these deposits, as well as the development of …

Off-shore production of crude oil is greatly affected by the formation of solid deposits. These
solids range from asphaltenes to gas hydrates and waxes. Long-chain alkanes (with a …
