... Abstract This paper describes a flow assurance method known as "cold flow". The method is suitable for deepwater liquid dominated fields and reduces costs and carbon emissions compared to conventional flow assurance methods by letting hydrate and wax deposits travel as inert solids...

... the fractures ( Faulds and Hinz, 2015 ). Fault reactivations Australian REE deposits are a result of fluid flow through crustal-scale fault zones or structures. The fluids were mineral-rich, and they flowed through the interstices during times of relative tectonic quiescence (Spandler, et al., 2020). Ore...

... In this work eight wax field deposits were collected and evaluated in terms of WAT, wax disappearance temperatures (WDT) and carbon chain distribution (CCD). These deposits were used to perform RBST, melted wax cold flask test MWCFT and a new methodology - Dynamic Wax Remediation Test (DWRT...

In general, traditional treatments do not target all possible causes of crude oil flow-path reduction at the same time, and a sequence of treatment fluids are pumped to clean up the multiple damages...

...Abstract Abstract Deepwater fields, such as those encountered in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), often exhibit reservoir tar deposits and asphaltene instability ( Dumont et al, 2012 , Mullins et al, 2016 ). This instability may manifest itself within the reservoir in the form of out of equilibrium...

We show that both the permittivity and the conductivity in the inside-out geometry can be estimated using the device and an inversion algorithm. Therefore, it was possible to detect material build-ups...

... Abstract Sulfidic polymetallic ore deposits, known as seafloor massive sulfides (SMS) occur on the seabed as precipitation products from hot hydrothermal solutions as a result of mixing with cold seawater and are usually found at depths between 1,500 and 4,100 m. These deposits are formed...
