The formation and accumulation of paraffin crystals is a common issue in oil production that can restrict flow within pipelines and equipment. It can cause unwanted production challenges such as reduced flow capacity and increased pressure drop, resulting in production inefficiencies. This can lead to reduced production volumes or costly production downtime.
Sunita Hydrocolloids USA is a trusted supplier of paraffin inhibitors and paraffin wax solvents, designed to keep pipelines and tubing clean and productive. We offer a range of high-quality paraffin inhibitors tailored to meet the specific needs of oilfield operations, ensuring efficient and uninterrupted production processes.
When hydrocarbons experience temperature and pressure drops during production and transportation, paraffins can crystallize and form structures. This is how paraffin is produced. Paraffin accumulation impacts production by causing gelation, raising the pour point and viscosity and leading to deposits. It results in operational challenges such as decreased flow, increased backpressure and the formation of waxy sludge in storage tanks.
Paraffin buildup not only restricts flow but can also compromise Oilfield Acidizing treatments by limiting fluid penetration into the formation. It decreases the flow rate, increases pipeline pressure drops and operational costs, disrupting the flow of crude oil and reducing production in upstream operations.
Sunita Hydrocolloids USA’s paraffin inhibitors are designed to prevent the deposition of paraffin wax, maximize production and reduce non-productive time.
The chemical structure of paraffin inhibitors typically consists of organic compounds such as long-chain hydrocarbons or polymers that interact with the wax molecules. They prevent paraffin from clumping together and forming deposits.
SHI USA’s portfolio of high-performance, high-quality paraffin inhibitors has proven effectiveness in multiple applications worldwide. Our proprietary formulations are built for different crudes and climates and exhibit high compatibility with oilfield chemicals such as demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors and more.
SHI USA has a global R&D backbone and a four-decade-long experience in chemical engineering, focused on innovative oil field chemical technology. Our paraffin wax solvents are field tested and developed to perform at low temperatures and high paraffin content fields.
Sunita’s paraffin inhibitors are effective, high molecular weight polymers that engage with paraffins in crude oil to inhibit the growth and coalescence of wax particles. They provide optimal paraffin mitigation so that surface adhesion is eliminated.
Remaining stable at high temperatures, extreme cold and exposure to corrosive factors, our paraffin wax solvents perform reliably even in deepwater and cold-climate applications and prevent turbidity when added to crude oil.
Minimizing the need for mechanical pigging or frequent solvent washes, our paraffin solvents lead to smoother and more efficient fluid flow, increased uptime and productivity and extended asset lifespan.
Designed to work in synergy with other well treatment fluids, our paraffin inhibitors’ performance has been evaluated in the field. They readily disperse and effectively coat and disrupt wax crystal formation with efficiency.
Sunita’s paraffin inhibitors are available in biodegradable variants and are compliant with regulatory standards, which is especially important in oil and gas field operations.
SHI USA’s paraffin inhibitors can be deployed in onshore and offshore wells, subsea pipelines, storage tanks and flowlines to improve hydrocarbon flow and production. They are performant in both light and heavy crude production environments and ensure flow assurance.
Taking a tailored approach, SHI USA offers custom dosing of paraffin wax solvents based on specific crude oil characteristics, crude analysis and production profile.
