The increase in global energy demand for crude oil has encouraged a huge growth in crude
oil production worldwide. The flow behavior of crude oil poses many problems when …

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 …

Biobased wax inhibitors and flow improvers have become attractive due to the need to cut
production cost and migrate towards more eco-friendly oilfield chemicals. Natural cashew …

The deposition of paraffin on pipelines during crude oil transit and low-temperature restart
processes poses a significant challenge for the oil industry. Addressing this issue …

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 …

Although nonionic surfactants are relatively eco-friendly compared with cationic and anionic
surfactants, few studies have investigated their application in modified clay. Herein we …

Use of pour point depressants/flow improvers is an effective strategy for alleviation of flow
problems associated with wax formation in paraffinic crude oil. Biobased oilfield chemicals …

Wax formation is a major flow assurance problem in the production and transportation of
paraffinic crude oil. Addition of pour point depressants/flow improvers is an effective …

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 …
