Wax and Emulsion Forming in Wells Reduced

Production wells that produce waxy crude with high water cut face dual challenges: paraffin wax deposits restricting flow and tight emulsions complicating downstream processing.

A group of production wells was experiencing declining production rates due to combined waxing and emulsion issues. Frequent well interventions were required, reducing productive time and increasing costs.

Merus Rings installed at the wellheads addressed both issues. Wax deposition in the tubing decreased, and the produced fluid arrived at surface facilities with weaker emulsions that were easier to process.
