An independent operator in the Eagle FordShale region of Texas flowed back several
new wells, producing 50º API gravity oil.
Paraffin deposition was extremely severe in
the sales tanks and production was rejected
numerous times. Tanks had to be hot oiled
to sell the oil. The paraffin characteristics
varied from 60-20º API gravity oil, and
cloud point ranges of 70°F to 115°F, which
led to flowline plugging. Surface vessels
malfunctioned, tank bottom deposits
increased, and oil sales tanks were rejected. FORSA-PAO23-Eliminated-Paraffin-EagleFord-cs.pdf
