THERMAL EFFECT OF HOT WATER PROCESSING ON ASPHALT-RESIN-PARAFFIN DEPOSITS

One of the main factors, which complicate the process of oil production at wells in the Pripyat Trough fields is the formation of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits (ARPD) on the working surfaces of underground well equipment. Various methods are used to combat ARPD. The article provides an analysis of the distribution of the methods used to combat ARPD in the production wells of the Pripyat Trough fields. The main method to combat ARPD is technological treatment with hot water. The article presents the results of measuring the temperature of the liquid in the pump-compressor pipes during technological treatment with hot water with an assessment of the effectiveness of the treatments. Using correlation analysis, the main parameters that affect the degree of heating of the produced liquid flow are identified, and recommendations are offered to improve the effectiveness of the methods used to combat ARPD
