Key words: wax deposition, oil degasation, Joule–Thomson effect.
The author's method of identifying conditions of wax in the flow of oil in the trunk of a horizontal well taking into account the Joule-Thompson, which significantly lowers the temperature of the flow of oil and gas, thereby contributing to loss of paraffin. This effect presented in detail for a particular field. On the basis of this work were recommended optimum conditions of the well (limiting GOR) below which the process of loss wax does not complicate the operation.
