Reservoir Damage Reduces Recovery
Reducing permeability, limiting oil flow and recovery. Plugging the reservoir pathway, affecting extraction efficiency.
Equipment Pipeline Blockage
Can cause pipeline and equipment blockages, necessitating costly maintenance and part- replacements.
(EOR) Enhanced Oil Recovery
Methods like gas injection can induce asphaltene issues jeopardizing injectivity and recovery success.
Quality Processing

FACTORS AFFECTING PARAFFIN DEPOSITION
Initial rapid deposition slows over time due to the insulating effect of the paraffin layer, reducing temperature gradients.
Deposition increases as surface temperature drops below the cloud point, with larger temperature gradients enhancing the driving force.
