Mathematical Modeling of Wax Deposition in Field-Scale Crude Oil Pipeline Systems

The formation of solid wax crystals, which interlock and form a gel-like layer on the inner wall of the crude oil pipeline, influences the transportation of waxy crude oil. The deposited layer grows continuously and hardens during the oil transportation, reducing the effective inside diameter of the...
