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

This work is aimed at developing methods for increasing the production of heavy crude oil
while optimizing energy costs. Various methods have been studied for recovering heavy oil …

This work describes the experience in developing and testing software for oil industry
automation control systems based on the simulation of technological processes and control …

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 …

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 …

High molecular weight paraffin/wax precipitates in the solution of crude oil when the
surrounding temperature falls below the wax appearance temperature, which causes the …

Wax formation creates flow assurance problems in the production and transportation of waxy
crude oil. Flow improvers are added to waxy crude in order to reduce handling cost. Bio …

Wax crystallization and deposition is a major flow assurance problem in production and
transportation of waxy crude oil. Conventional flow improvers are mainly high molecular …

The present study evaluated the effectiveness of a blend of dimethyl ketone (DMK) and
methyl esters extracted from vegetable sesame oil (VSO) as a flow improver. The rheological …

Industries are progressively turning to sustainable alternatives due to rising environmental
pollution and the depletion of fossil fuels. Over the past decades, significant efforts have …
