...Past and Current Methods for Removing Organic Deposition Several methods can be used to remove downhole organic deposits. One of the most common methods is pumping hot oil or hot water down the well. This can be effective if the well is not completely plugged. The advantage is that no well...

... is thermodynamically consistent and has no ambiguous assumptions. Introduction Organic deposition is a common problem in oil production and processing. The products of organic deposition are complicated and may contain asphaltenes, asphaltic resins, wax, and solid fines. Deposition may occur in reservoir formations...

... SPE Members Abstract This paper is an experimental investigation of reservoir parameters which influence CO2-induced organic deposition. A prototype high pressure/temperature apparatus is described which quantifies the onset and duration of heavy hydrocarbon flocculation, the extent...
