Determination of Possible Point of Wax Depositionalong Flowlines in the Niger Delta
Abstract: The focus of this study is to determine the possible point of wax deposition along an oil flowline in Niger delta. This research commenced with field studies to ascertain the flowline profile. The temperature profile along the flowline was determined using infra-red thermometer. Crude oil sample was taken from wellhead and laboratory analysis was carried out on the crude sample to determine the wax appearance temperature (WAT) of crude and …
