Paraffin problems?
Paraffin problems?
(OP)
We have a well that we believe is capable of better production than is currently evident. Is is highly possible that wax buildup would happen around the perfs (1800m) and not be evident at surface. Anyone know of any good references to assess this possible problem?
Thanks,
JR

I know of a couple of companies that used an adaptation of MHD to control wax. One is Magnaflow and it was run by Chuck Selinger out of Odessa, TX and the other Mag-well run by Mark Varel in Dallas, TX.
I don't know if they are still operating but we had some limited success with their equipment although I understand that the technology has very limited or no affect on asphaltenes.

Perhaps this company has solutions that will apply:
Brenntag Oil & Gas.
But perhaps not since it was a combination of a chemical treatment and then special pigging .... but perhaps the method can be adpated to your problem.
