Paraffin Depositing Mechanism and Prediction Methods of Paraffin Removal Cycle

Abstract:

This paper explains the mechanism of oil well paraffin deposit. The paraffin deposit velocity has a closed relationship with the temperature distribution of the well, the production of the well , and the roughness of pipe. This paper quantitatively calculates the speed of paraffin deposit of oil wells on the basis of certain assumptions, deduces the quantitative calculation method of paraffin removal cycle based on laminar flow model and provides a quantitative basis for determining the oil well paraffin removal cycle on time.
