Popis:	Summary Removal of wax from wells and flowlines can account for significant additional operating costs. To evaluate these potential costs, the operating conditions that allow waxes to precipitate in the wellbore must be identified, and deposition rates must be estimated to determine the costs associated with removal of wax deposits. Presented in this paper are laboratory and analytic methods that can be used to estimate both The critical operating conditions and the deposition rates. The laboratory tests and analysis presented may be used to characterize any type of oil.
