Abstract
Paraffin inhibitors can have a significant impact on crude oil production for some developments. Paraffin inhibitors are used<br>for reducing wax deposition in flowlines and/or for improving the flow properties of waxy crude oils. The effectiveness of<br>the paraffin treatment is dependent on the crude oil chemical composition, inhibitor chemistry, inhibitor dose rate, and the<br>production conditions.
