Development of a New Model for the Formation of Wax Deposits through the Passage of Crude Oil within the Well

Wax deposits related to flow assurance are a costly problem in oil production many fields around the world. Modeling of this process is main tool for creating and optimizing methods deal with problem. This paper considers new empirical model formation these deposits, based on results an array laboratory studies, theoretical data technological calculations presented. The created technique takes into account conditions flow, from water cut product. experience industrial operation showed high convergence calculated actual deposit profiles. Based comparison profiles, it was concluded that standard deviation maximum wax thickness 6.0%, depth greatest 3.5%, which fairly result. use makes possible optimize mechanical cleaning well, installation heating cables, as well parameters hot flushing, increases their efficiency reduces cost combating deposition.
