Abstract:Wax precipitation along oil well tubing causes deferment in production while being produced from the formation through production facilities. Existing formulations for inhibiting wax formation include, chemical injection at different dosages and depths, mechanical inhibiting forms and thermal methods used in overcoming wax formation temperature. A well in one of the Niger Delta offshore field suffered down hole wax deposition after each field shut down. A triplex pump which serves six fields was used to provid… Show more
