Oil and Gas Wells: Paraffin Wax and Emulsion

Oil wells frequently experience simultaneous challenges of paraffin wax deposition and tight emulsion formation. Both issues reduce production rates and increase operating costs through the need for chemical treatments and well interventions.

This case study examines a field where wells suffered from both waxing and emulsion issues. Chemical treatments for one problem often exacerbated the other, creating a difficult operational balance.

Merus Ring installation addressed both problems simultaneously through its oscillation technology. Wax deposition was reduced while emulsion stability decreased, allowing for easier separation downstream.
