Title:
WAX RISK ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION USING ADVANCED DATA ANALYTICS AND PIPE FLOW MODELING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/187898
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for evaluating and mitigating the wax risks of a given hydrocarbon composition such as crude oil. The disclosed systems and methods enable rapid and ready prediction of wax risks using algorithms based on a small sample of the hydrocarbon composition. The wax risks are predicted using predictive models developed from machine learning. The disclosed systems and methods include mitigation strategies for wax risks that can include chemical additives, operation changes, and/or hydrocarbon blend.
