Technology of cleaning pump-compressor pipes from asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits with the subsequent disposal

Authors: K.A. Vyatkin, D.A. Martyushev, А.V. Lekomtsev (Perm National Research Polytechnic University, RF, Perm)

Key words: asphaltene-resin-parafin deposits, operating wells troubles, thermal cleaning of tubing, disposal of oily waste.

The article considers basic types of wells problems were found on Perm oil deposits in 2004, 2008 and 2012. The most common type identified for oil wells was is asphaltene-resin-parafin deposits formation. The authors consider the new method for tubing pipes cleaning. The efficiency of this method is estimated. To evaluate the effectiveness of the technology quality of pipe and steel structure after processing were studied. The results of the laboratory tests of the tubing and the coupling showed a high quality of cleaning. The technology was optimized using combustion catalysts.
