BREAKING THROUGH THE BARRIER

摘要

Ryan Miller, Bonanza Creek Energy, USA, and Chris Reiter, Polyflow, USA, discuss strategies for dealing with the costly and time-consuming problem of mitigating paraffin. Paraffin build-up is ubiquitous to carbon steel oil and gas transport lines. It not only obstructs flow but also chokes off profitability, shutting down operations as these problematic deposits are painstakingly removed to restore hydrocarbon flow. Throughout the industry, many companies are balancing traditional mitigation methods with newer technologies that offer a promising, more cost-effective solution.
