| description | The problem of the formation of organic deposits on the inside surfaces of borehole equipment and oilfield pipelines, which is urgent for all active oil fields, was considered in the study. The formation of these deposits leads to decreased lifespans for oilfield equipment and accidents involving oil pipelines and wells. The aim of our work was to estimate the dependencies of the organic deposition’s formation-rate factor on the water cut of the investigated water–oil emulsion and the mineralization of the water phase. Examination via generation of asphaltene–resin–paraffin deposits on the surfaces of cold rods was carried out with a “Cold Finger” CF-4 unit. Coefficients of specific oil sludging, fluid sludging and rate sludging have been determined. It has been defined that in the definite oilfields, the rate of sludging does not increase as the water content in the emulsion increases. As water-phase mineralization increases, this value remains practically constant. |
