Flow Assurance Provided By A New Method of
Paraffin Deposition Control
This new-patented production technology irreversibly reduces the pour point
of the produced crude oil while keeping the wax in a separate phase, as long
as the temperature of the produced crude oil is kept above the new
irreversibly reduced pour point, there will be no further deposition of the
paraffin wax anywhere in the production system.
The produced waxy crude oil and associated gas are produced and utilized in
such a manner as to manage the gas/fluid/solid phase equilibrium in the
production system and control paraffin wax deposition throughout the
economic life of the reservoir.
THERMSOLsm facilitates accelerated recovery of the original-oil-in-place.
Without THERMSOLsm, paraffin wax deposition and plugging typically creates
severe skin damage resulting in normally less than 10% recovery of the
original-oil-in-place.
THERMSOLsm is applicable for control of paraffin deposition in flowing wells
where wax deposition is a problem in the production system including sub sea
wells.
The physically (not chemically altered) paraffin wax remains in solution due
to micro encapsulation of the wax molecules. The higher molecular weight
molecules will settle out, if not agitated for several hours. In storage
this altered wax will remain in solution; however, the wax can be separated
by filtration, centrifuging, or gravity settlement in a storage tank.
The physically altered paraffin wax can be separated at the wellhead prior
to reaching the refinery.
