De-waxing Services :- Overview
De-waxing services play a crucial role in the oil recovery process, especially in fields where crude oil is produced from sandstone formations. In these formations, the components of crude oil exist in a state of equilibrium. However, during oil recovery, this equilibrium is disrupted, particularly when using a screw pump as the primary drive mechanism.
Wax deposits on Tubing Walls, Thus creating following problems
- Resistance to oil flow. Resistance to rod/shaft movement.
Result : high torque on pump shaft and high amperage current on pump motor
- Pump failure due to shaft/rod breaking.
Result : expensive work over to fix it
- Reduction of pump efficiency due to wax inside pump compression chambers. It happens when gas and wax go together. Wax deposit inside cause bad sealing and gas compresses and bounces back thru imperfect seal.
Result : less production at given pump RPM.
Ultimate problem of dealing with wax is millions of dollars worth of losses of oil unproduced and remedial efforts. Less than half of all oil producers are endowed with wax-free oil, others are not so lucky.
We at Conmat provide you an environmentally safe de-waxing and paraffin removal process utilizing a proprietary wax removal formulation and methods.
Key Benefits of De-Waxing Services
- Prevents Wax Build-Up:
De-waxing services effectively remove solidified wax deposits, preventing blockages in tubing and equipment.
- Enhances Oil Flow:By eliminating wax obstructions, these services improve oil flow, ensuring higher production efficiency.
- Reduces Downtime and Maintenance Costs:
Regular de-waxing minimizes operational interruptions, lowering maintenance expenses and boosting productivity.
- Extends Equipment Lifespan:
Keeping the equipment free of wax deposits reduces wear and tear, enhancing its durability and operational longevity.
