Investigations of temperature and dilution effect on rheological properties of waxy crude oil

Abstract The purpose of the paper is to study the effect of temperature and hydrocarbon solvent addition on thixotropy of waxy crude oil. Oil is a complex multicomponent hydrocarbon system. There are many interactions between wax and asphaltene, wax and aromatics, asphaltene and resins in original o...
