Given the combination of rising global energy demand and the decline in conventional
crudes, heavy crudes are generally considered to be the future energy resource. In many …

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

Faced with the problem of high viscosity of heavy oil, revealing interaction mechanism of
viscosity reduction from molecular level is of significance for scientifically designing viscosity …

Faced with the increasing shortage of conventional oil, heavy oil has shown great potential.
However, high viscosity of heavy oil hinder the use of traditional exploitation and …

In Malaysia, solid depositions of paraffin wax in the inner walls of production and
transportation pipelines, and on the surface of production equipment have been identified as …

Three types of relatively high-molecular polymer were used to investigate drag reduction in
single-phase flow through a horizontal, 12.7-mm pipe. Diesel oil and a mixture of diesel oil …

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 …

In empowering the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal, the oil industry is
inclined toward organic wax inhibitor applications when combatting the wax deposition …

The rheological properties of gel-containing emulsions have been studied. Emulsions have
been obtained from well production facilities after the use of demulsifiers based on …

Pour point depressant (PPD) has the competitive advantage of lowering the temperature of
the wax appearance (WAT) and crude oil viscosity. In this paper, a novel PPD of poly stearyl …
