Injection of non-reacting gas into production pipelines to ease restart pumping of waxy crude oil
Wax deposition in production pipelines causes flow assurance issue due to reduction in flow rate. Gelling of waxy crude oil after subsequent cooling restricts the flow and causes blockage in pipelines, and thus requiring large and costly pumps to restart and regain the steady flow. Nevertheless, the...
