University of Calgary Calgary, AB

• Performed heat transfer and thermodynamic calculations to simulate pipelines carrying waxy crude oil under steady state, transient, and shutdown conditions.

• Performed wax deposition and gel formation experiments using a flow-loop and a cold finger apparatus to study the effect of different factors such as oil temperature, flow rate and the surroundings temperature on the amount of wax deposition in pipelines under steady-state, unsteady-state and shutdown conditions.

• Performed deposition experiments in different flow regimes, under laminar and turbulent flow conditions.

• Investigated the role of suspended wax crystals in the cold flow regime on the amount of wax deposition.

• Estimated cost on proposed design, equipment and materials.

• Performed experiments using solutions of paraffins mixed with liquid diluents to provide an understanding of the rheo- logical, thermal, crystallization behavior of complex crude oil mixtures.

• Proposed a mathematical model for incorporating the effects of shear rate and time on the deposit composition during the aging process.
