Abstract:The article discusses the reasons for the occurrence of asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits in production tubings and pipelines, the ways to eliminate the issues, and a novel reagent based on the aromatic solvents and modifiers (copolymer of polyethylene polyamine, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide based on glycerin) developed to solve the issue. The efficacy of the newly developed XL-6 reagent against asphaltene-resin-asphaltene deposits was determined, and the effect on non-Newtonian oil rheology was investi… Show more
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.
