Development of a new method for prevention the reservoir of asphaltene sediments in hydrocarbons transportation
E.M. AbbasovThe article presents the results of research on the development of new methods to prevent asphaltene sediments while hydrocarbons transportation. Experimental studies justified that under the maintenance of a specific temperature regime between the oil transported through the pipelines and the environment (276–278 K), continuous gas evolution and formation of a gas layer is observed in the boundary of gas-liquid flow and the pipe wall. The generation of such a layer helps to prevent asphaltene sediments on the pipe walls and can serve as an effective method to improve the performance of the pipelines.
