Paraffin Control

Liquid hydrocarbons produced from many oil and gas reservoirs become unstable soon after leaving the formation. Changing conditions, including decreases in temperature and pressure, can lead to solid hydrocarbons depositing on the walls of the tubing, flow lines and surface equipment. These deposits generally consist of straight and branched chain hydrocarbons and are commonly referred to as "paraffins."

Baker Hughes advanced chemical solutions can be used to prevent organic deposits from forming or remove deposits which are already in place. Our product range includes:

  • Pour point depressants
  • Cold flow improvers
  • Dispersants
  • Solvents
  • Yield and viscosity reduction agents
Baker Hughes paraffin control product line includes high actives winterized products for effective paraffin control in the coldest environments.
