Abstract:Produced fluids, from a tight deep carbonate reservoir extended laterally from West to South East Kuwait experienced severe asphaltene deposition along production tubing. This flow assurance challenge significantly increases well operating cost, risk and production deferment periods due to frequent Coiled Tubing (CT) cleaning jobs using considerable amount of expensive organic solvents.
This flow assurance challenge is caused mainly due to the absence of any of strong reservoir aquifer support, … Show more
