Review of wax sedimentations prediction models for crude-oil transportation pipelines

Wax sedimentation in pipelines is a severe crude oil production and transportation challenge. Pipeline surface roughness is experienced at the early stages of the problem; with time, the effective pipe cross-sectional area is reduced due to pipeline wax plugging, causing pumping pressure increase, e...
