Introduction to PARA LAX
A novel and proven solution to eliminate wax deposits from the Wellhead to the Refinery
Solitec Group has the pleasure of introducing you to a cutting edge technology that will enable you to better deal with an age old problem wax deposits.
Ever since the first barrel of oil was produced, the problem of wax deposits in the Tubing and flow lines has been apparent Wax deposits are the primary cause of decline in production, plugged pipe, pump hang-ups and the need for work overs. Over the years, several methods have been de veloped to combat this problem; the most popular have been Acidizing, Solvent Washing and Hot Oiling All of these methods remove wax from the line, but all have quite serious disadvantages and none are able to create a wax free environment afterwards.

Paraffin Wax is one of the Root Causes of Poor
Oil Well Performance
Paraffin wax can cause oil wells to become shut-in with no production, which results in the loss of revenue and a significant increase in the risk of failures and catastrophic events.
PARALAX® Improves BOPH in Subsea Pipeline
When paraffin wax develops and hardens at any point along the oil production process, it affects efficiency, production and revenues. Wax creates problems at the wellbore, inside tubing, at perforations, along pump strings and rods, and throughout flowl ines and pipelines. PARALAX® offers a safe and environmentally friendly way to remove wax and keep wax from returning.
PARALAX®controls wax buildup on:
• Pumped, gas lift and flowing wells
• Flowlines and production facilities
• Storage tanks, rail cars and tankers
• Gas condensate facilities and pipelines
• Land and subsea pipelines
A Customized Solution for Wax Free Pipelines
Our team of specialists work with you to customize a PARALAX® treatment for your unique conditions. We work one-on-one with you because PARALAX is different than traditional dispersant, solvents or inhibitors. It is based on proprietary biotechnology that reacts differently with wax buildup. Activated when mixed with crude oil, PARALAX® works as a solvent to remove wax layer by layer and create a wax-repelling environment that can last for 2 to 3 months with ongoing maintenance.
• Customized treatment with technical support and training
• Maintain wax-free environment for 2-3 months
• Reduce time needed for wax removal treatments
• Less frequent treatments
The PARALAX® team works directly with you to customize the treatment for your specific conditions.
Eliminate Wax Deposits from
the Wellhead to the Refinery
A Safe and Environmentally Friendly Solution
PARALAX®is not flammable, nontoxic, nonvolatile and safe to handle. Spills can easily be washed down with no special handling requirements. Compared to traditional methods of wax management like acidizing, solvent washing and hot oiling, PARALAX® is safe for the environment.
PARALAX® cleared a subsea oil pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico, where past treatments had been ineffective, pipeline throughput declined and some well÷s had to be taken off-line. Once PARALAX® treated the pipeline, the operator was able to discontinue the use of other chemicals and saw an increase from 80 barrels of oil per hour (BOPH) to 140 in just two weeks.

THE PROCESS
At the start of the PARALAX® treatment process, the operator continued the use of a drag reducer in addition to the PARALAX® treatment. PARALAX® was injected into the pipeline directly before the pump and riser at 200 ppm. Flow rates were closely monitored with daily telemetry reports issued.
There was an initial decline in the flow rate following the PARALAX® treatment because wax particles were mobilized and were partially blocking the pipe. After several days of increasing PARALAX® rates, there was a small, 25 BOPH increase in the flow rate, however further improvements were required. After 7 days, the PARALAX® team further customized the PARALAX® treatment by recommending the discontinuation of the drag reducer. This allowed more turbulence in the pipeline and created a better environment for the PARA LAX® treatment to work on the wax buildup. Initially, this created a decline in the flow rate by 20 BOPH due to the higher turbulence and friction pressure.
With careful monitoring, the following 24-hours saw a significant change in conditions as the flow rate steadied and then rose over a 5-day period to 3500 BOPD. This was almost double the lowest BOPD rate prior to the PARALAX® treatment. Figure 1 shows the declining flow rate in the months leading up to the PARALAX treatment and the subsequent increase in rates once the drag reducer was eliminated.
PARALAX is the cost-cutting efficiency-boosting technology and innovation that operators cannot afford to be without.
The use of wax chemicals and solvents in the oilfield has never been either effective or safe for workers and the environment. A better way to improve oil well performance and efficiency, and lower lift-costs is by using PARALAX.
RESULTS
PARALAX® was initially continued at a rate of 200 ppm. In the months following the initial treatment, injection stopped for several weeks because of a lack of supply of PARALAX®. This caused a slight decline in the flow levels, however they improved when PARALAX® injection began again. A PARALAX® rate of 500 ppm was settled on and the pipeline flow rate leveled at 180 BOPH.
PARALAX® increased the flow rate by over 2400 barrels per day. and added over $200,000 a day in production cash flow.
In November 2012, PARALAX® was used to treat a subsea pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. The 8" diameter, 27 mile pipeline ran from a production platform and tied into a 12" pipeline shared with other operators upstream.
CONDITIONS PRIOR TO TREATMENT
Over a six year period, wax was gradually building up in the subsea pipeline. However, buildup was more aggressive over the last year and despite several efforts, the operator had limited success controlling or removing the wax. A drag reducer chemical was used in the last year, eliminating turbulence in the pipe and reducing pumping pressure by 200 psi. The low pressure resulted in several wells being taken offline to avoid spills and overflow. Production was reduced to 80 BOPH as a result.
THE CHALLENGE
The goal of the PARALAX® treatment was to remove the wax buildup and improve pipeline flow. This was something the operator was unable to do with previous treatments of wax inhibitors and drag reducers. Initial treatment options were challenged by the use of a drag reducer in parallel with PARALAX.
Paraffin wax can cause oil wells to become shut-in with no production, which results in the loss of revenue and a significant increase in the risk of failures and catastrophic events
Up to 85% of the world’s oil suffers when paraffin wax precipitates out and solidifies on the side wall of the well, clogs up the tubing, casing, perforations, pump strings, rods and the complete oil transfer system of flow lines, pipelines, et cetera
Paraffin wax is the initial glue that causes asphaltenes, corrosion and debris to stick, collect and buildup If this paraffin wax buildup is left untreated it can block the well and oil transfer system, and cause the pumps and pump strings to break. Many nodding donkeys stand up in paraffin wax, and when they do, expensive “fishing” and repair procedures are required.
The usual methods to remediate paraffin wax, such as thermal, magnetic, mechanical scraping, solvent cleaning, acids or chemicals are not only cumbersome, costly and hazardous, they provide only temporary relief and often cause problems of their own. They also force much of the problem down into the formation, which can choke off future production.
Most importantly, they stop production—sometimes for several days at a time dependent on the severity of the precipitation Stopping production to perform a chemical, water or oil wash costs money. The washing procedure requires a wash truck, acids, water or oil and extra manpower.
When you take into consideration that this pipeline has not been pigged in 7 years, you have to ask yourself how long will it take to free it up.... was a miracle chemical for us, and we all said there was no way possible it would work. But we were all very pleased to be proven wrong
In our eyes, such a significant improvement in production figures has elevated PARALAX from ...
a wax remediation product to being an exceptional improved oil recovery product.
Reduce the Impact on
production Cost
and Equipment
Removing wax deposits and keeping equipment wax- free helps maintain production efficiency and limits damage to equipment. Production does not have to stop when using PARALAX® and operators find that the product pays for itself in less than two weeks and sometimes as soon as 2 days.
• Improved production
• Generate a return on investment within 1 -2 weeks
• Lessen pump load and improve production
• Fewer and easier cleanout treatments
• Limit workovers and bottlenecks
• Fewer pump hang-ups
• Free up man-hours for other activities
Gas Lift Well Benefits from 13 Weeks of Wax-Free Production
Common practice for flowing and gas lift wells is to use slickline units with gauge cutters to cut the wax from tubing wells. This practice was repeated ever four to seven days. PARALAX® supplemented the treatment and was injected into the formation to support the creation of a wax-repelling environment.
