For some offshore fields, multiphase production and transport can be an economic solution. In the case of waxy crude reservoirs, keeping the light ends in contact with the stock tank oil can reduce the onset crystallization temperature. Furthermore, it has been possible to correlate these experimental data, in order to calculate the variation of the wax appearance temperature of two stock tank oils, due to the addition of a light end.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
