INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECTS OF SOLVENTS IN MITIGATING WAX PRECIPITATION DURING C02 FLOODING

When the wax precipitation reaches the most severe level, it may result in the plugging of well bores, production facilities, and transportation pipelines during oil/gas production. Based on literature study, there are several techniques conducted to mitigate wax precipitation, including chemical...
