It is evident that almost any form of solid deposition in facilities and pipelines during the production and processing of oil and gas has undesirable economic and operational effects. These precipitating solids can be any one of pure solids, hydrates, waxes, asphaltenes, scales, or any mixture of them. The wax crystals are one of the most common and problematic solids. Wax precipitation can occur for gas condensate, light oil, and heavy oil fluids at temperatures as high as 338.7 K, and therefore it makes this study essential for oil and gas industries. In this book, the wax...
