... ( Thomas, 2001 ). To reduce casing wear and prolong the lifespan of TJs, hardbandings are deposited on the latter. However, hardbandings are typically made of ferrous alloys, containing hard phases in their microstructure (carbides and/or borides) ( Cernocky and Paslay, 1990 ), and it is crucial...

... Abstract The formation and deposition of inorganic salts on industrial equipment surfaces pose significant financial and technological challenges for various industries, particularly the oil industry, due to the transportation of multiphase fluids such as water, oil, and gas under high...

... Abstract Asphaltene deposition has been an extremely critical flow assurance challenge in the Oilfield industry and the chemical treatment with continuous asphaltene inhibitors injection has been one of the best solutions for operators to face this challenge preventively, especially...

... to east. In NW structure of Libra, their most intensity appeared during the period of PIC deposition. In Central structure, they show their highest activity values mainly during ITP (Itapema Fm.) stage. And the Class-I faults in SE structure continue to be active even during the deposition time of BVE...

... Abstract Organic deposition formed at high temperatures in oil and gas production systems is commonly linked to instability of asphaltenes. Recent studies revealed that deposits collected in offshore production wells produced in Gulf of Mexico exhibited compositional variation pointing...

... Scale deposition has been known to occur in porous media when the existing fluid becomes supersaturated based on changes in the ambient pressures and temperatures. Studies have been performed on the generation of mathematical models for evaluating scales in radial flow. Scaling is a well-known...

... design and geometry of the intelligent completion tool, inorganic scale deposition can be very difficult to prevent and/or to mitigate. The failure of such equipment tools can cause severe production impairment and affect the entire field economics. In order to provide a high accuracy assessment...

... Wax deposition is a phenomenon present in oil production systems (mainly in deep water due to the low temperatures), which consists in the adhesion of solids fractions of hydrocarbon to tubing and lines, reducing the area opened to flow until eventually being completely blocked...

... Abstract Easily accessible oil deposits are increasingly scarce, and therefore, more challenging reserves will require innovative solutions and technologies. Carbonate reservoirs are today important resources to be developed. Among the challenges imposed to the flow assurance process...

... Abstract This paper presents a real case of wax deposition in production lines from one Brazil Pre-salt well located at Santos Basin. It also shows a diagnosis of the problem as well as the methods adopted to remove the wax. An effective wax removal method may imply great costs, not only...

The experiments performed have shown that hydrates have a lower tendency to deposit on oil wetted surfaces than surfaces exposed to condensate or the gas phase. However, hydrate deposition was also observed in the oil system. The predominant processes in all...
