Chemical Additives as Flow Improvers for Waxy Crude Oil and Model Oil: A Critical Review Analyzing Structure-Efficacy Relationships

Farah Ansari et al.

Summary: Waxy crude oil, as an unconventional alternative to conventional oil, presents challenges in flow assurance due to its high viscosity and gelation properties. Chemical additives such as polymers, polymer nanocomposites, surfactants, and organic solvents have been utilized to improve flow during transportation. The relationship between the structural properties of these additives and their efficacy in flow improvement has been explored and discussed in this review. The perspective of structure-efficacy relationship will aid in designing novel additives for waxy crude oil with greater effectiveness and suitability.

A non-isothermal approach to evaluate the impact of the cooling stage on the startup flow of waxy crude oils

Vitor Figueiroa Ventura et al.

Summary: Waxy crude oils can turn into a gel at low temperatures, causing flow assurance issues during restart due to the higher pressure drop required. This study investigates the impact of cooling process after shutdown on the problem. The results show that the plastic number and the duration of cooling after shutdown play a role in the restart conditions, with higher plastic numbers and longer cooling times leading to more difficult restarts.

Thermal methods in flow assurance: A review

Elijah Bell et al.

Summary: Solid deposition in flow-lines poses a significant challenge for offshore operations, leading to reduced production and increased costs when flow blockage occurs. Thermal management methods, including passive and active approaches, have been developed to ensure flow during production. Passive methods involve insulation and pipeline burial, while active methods require heating techniques to maintain or raise the temperature of the fluid.

Pressure propagation and flow restart in the multi-plug gelled pipeline

Lomesh Tikariha et al.

Summary: Understanding pressure propagation mechanisms in multi-plug gelled pipelines is crucial for temporary storage, transmission, and attenuation of pressure signals. The study investigates transient flow start in such pipelines, revealing the significance of pressure gradients between different plugs. The compressibility of the gas pocket plays a key role in controlling overall compressibility and flow-restart time.

Experimental Investigation of active heating in removal of wax deposits

Elijah Bell et al.

Summary: Active heating is found to be an effective method for controlling wax deposition in offshore flow-lines, with wax deposits being removed completely, partially, or not at all at different temperatures. The majority of wax can be swiftly removed within an hour, while higher removal temperatures are needed for deposits with higher wax content. In contrast to softer wax, the removal of harder wax seems to occur in two steps, with sudden removal followed by a period of no removal before sudden removal again.

Microscopic phenomena inferred from the rheological analysis of an emulsion

E. P. Marin Castano et al.

Summary: The rheological behavior of an emulsion is determined by microstructural changes caused by external loads, and a deeper understanding of the system can be obtained by linking rheological characterization results with microscopic events. It is important to understand the rheological consequences of destabilization phenomena such as coalescence and flocculation. An experimental study was conducted to verify the destabilization of samples during shear, assess coalescence through changes in droplet size distribution functions, and determine the degree of flocculation using consecutive flow curves. The occurrence of non-equilibrium conditions was also studied.
