Selection and Preparation of Solvent for Wax Dissolution in Heavy Crude Oil WellsBy Shirsendu Banerjee, Sunil Kumar, Ajay Mandal, Tarun Kumar Naiya
Abstract: Remedial measures for wax deposition problems in production wells are very hectic due to production down time and expenditure required for removal of heavy and waxy crude oil. Chemical treatment techniques with solvent formulation derived from many laboratory experiments were carried out with the waxy crude oil sample to recover the solidified wax inside the pipelines and wellbores. A list of chemical solvents including three dispersants was mixed in different …

Studies on Naturally Extracted Surfactant to Enhance Flow Properties of Crude OilBy Shirsendu Banerjee, Manoj Kumar, Irshad Ansari, Ajay Mandal, Tarun Kumar Naiya
Abstract: Indian heavy crude oil sample from Gujarat was studied for improvement of properties such as pour point, wax crystal structure, particle size analysis and viscosity by addition of a novel surfactant extracted from a tropical Indian plant Sapindus mukorossi. Characterization was done to find the effect of surfactant addition on individual components of the crude oil such as saturates, asphaltenes, resins and aromatics. The objective was to increase the flowability …
