Paraffin, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons, plays a crucial role in the oil
and gas industry, it presents challenges due to its complex nature, varying
properties, and tendency to precipitate and adhere to production
components, leading to decreased efficiency and increased operating
costs. Paraffin deposition in oil wells is a long-standing problem, causing
reduced production rates, blockages in flow conduits, and the need for
costly removal processes. The troublesome paraffins, ranging from C18H38
to C38H78, can lead to severe inefficiencies in the oil recovery system,
resulting in billions of dollars in losses within the petroleum industry
annually.
This study focuses on the utilization of a high-power laser to help develop
underwater paraffin removal technique, which utilizes a high-power laser to
increase the temperature and melt the paraffin. The research aims to
address the challenges posed by paraffin in the oil and gas industry by
offering a potential solution for efficient paraffin removal. The technique has
the potential to remove paraffin deposition, reduce downtime, and lower
operating costs, thereby contributing to improved operational efficiency in
the oil and gas sector.
