Paraffin wax build up typically occurs in oil wells, and this is a problem that most oil extraction specialists are concerned with. At times, the build up will include asphaltene, too, resulting in a more severe effect that can prevent proper oil production. About 85 percent of oil produced around the world is prone to paraffin deposits. When left to accumulate, paraffin will reduce the flow of oil and reduce oil production altogether. Moreover, paraffin build-up can dramatically lessen the efficiency of an oil recovery and transfer system, which covers the pipes, flow lines, the oil well, and tubing. Using a high-quality paraffin remover should help remove the existing build-up and prevent the problem from persisting.
There are many ways to remove paraffin in oil wells. These include coiled tubing, scraping, mechanical, hot oiling, thermal, hot water, combination treatments, and the use of chemicals like dispersants and wax solvents. Mechanical methods are inexpensive but may need to be administered frequently. For this reason, you may want to consider using an organic or inorganic paraffin remover.
Chemical paraffin removers are preferred in situations where asphaltene is involved, too. An all-in-one product that works as a solvent, crystal modifier, inhibitor, and dispersant will significantly remove more asphaltene and paraffin compared to when you use a traditional solvent. At the same time, it maintains the suspended paraffin longer in the solution, while preventing paraffin deposition with its crystal modifier effect.
High-quality paraffin removers are formulated with aliphatic solvents that come with primary amines to increase the product's solvency effects. As a result, the product can remove more asphaltene and paraffin while ensuring a higher saturation point. This way, you can easily dissolve paraffin and asphaltene using a single solution. The chemical remains in the oil, but the crystal modifier prevents the deposition and precipitation of asphaltene and paraffin to keep oil wells cleaner for an extended period.
