Use of Pulsed Nmr Spectroscopy to Measure the Amount of Solid Deposits As a Function of Temperature in Waxy Crudes Utilisation de la spectroscopie RMN pulsée pour mesurer la quantité de dépôts solides en fonction de la température dans les bruts paraffiniques

Paraffin crystallization in crude oils and in gas condensates is a major problem for petroleum exploitation. Thermodynamic models are used to evaluate the risk. With them, one calculates the Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) as well as the crystallized fraction as a function of temperature, for tempe...
