Chemical additives used at small concentrations have been found to effectively alter the flow properties of crude oil. These products have been used for many years in solving transportation problems in onshore and offshore operation with a high degree of success. Because of the incentive increase of fluid production, assets have been more receptive to the important physical properties which control the flow behaviour. High pour point and high viscosity crude oil deposits at the wellbore tubing, flow line and pipelines can have catastrophic consequences both in loss of oil and environmental hazards caused by pipeline ruptures. Various methods have been designed to reduce the pour pint and viscosity of high asphaltene - wax content crudes. Different products (Pour Point Depressant,PPD) were evaluated on composite oil sample collected from western onshore field.
