Optimizing Crude Oil Flow in Pipeline Using Betaflow PP

BETAFLOW 9400

Industry

Oil Industry

Challenge

The field operator encountered severe paraffin deposition within crude oil flow lines, manifesting as thick, adhesive wax layers that led to substantial pressure increases, restricted fluid movement, and raised the likelihood of pipeline blockages. This resulted in compromised transport reliability, reduced production efficiency, and escalating operational risks. Addressing these issues required a chemically robust solution capable of both dissolving existing deposits and inhibiting further paraffin crystallization under challenging thermal and production conditions.

Results

Continuous injection of Betaflow PP pour point depressant restored crude oil transport to optimal levels. The product's dual-action formulation effectively dispersed paraffin deposits and prevented new formation, resulting in uninterrupted liquid oil flow, stabilized pipeline operation, and significant reductions in both unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. Customer feedback confirmed pipeline performance improvement, with crude oil flow maintained at 100% and maintenance demands minimized.

Key Product

BETAFLOW 9500, BETAFLOW 9400

After years of dealing with paraffin issues that frequently obstructed our crude oil flow, we finally found a solution that truly works. Since implementing Betaflow PP through continuous injection, the improvement has been remarkable.The oil flow in our pipelines is now much smoother, with no more heavy wax buildup that previously caused pressure spikes and recurring line problems. We have seen a significant increase in production performance, and the frequency of pipeline maintenance has noticeably decreased.We are extremely satisfied with the results. Betaflow PP has proven to be effective and provides a consistent solution to the paraffin challenges in our field

About your Customer

An oil and gas field operator focused on maximizing production efficiency and minimizing downtime through advanced chemical solutions for flow assurance.

The Challenge

The oil and gas field operator faced persistent and problematic paraffin accumulation inside crude oil flow lines. These deposits, characterized by their thickness and adhesive properties, severely restricted fluid flow, increased system pressure, and created a high risk of complete pipeline blockages. The situation not only threatened production targets but also introduced substantial maintenance burdens and operational hazards. The operator required a proactive and reliable solution to maintain flow assurance and protect production integrity.

The Solution

After evaluating available mitigation strategies, the technical team selected Betaflow PP, a specialized pour point depressant designed to inhibit wax crystallization and disperse paraffin deposits. The product was injected continuously at the wellhead, leveraging the elevated crude oil temperature for maximum efficacy. This approach enabled comprehensive modification of wax structures, preventing agglomeration and maintaining oil mobility throughout the pipeline. According to a Field Operations Supervisor, "After implementing Betaflow PP, our crude oil flow became stable and free from paraffin blockages. The pipeline performance improved significantly, reducing maintenance needs."

The Results

The adoption of Betaflow PP delivered measurable improvements in operational performance. Crude oil flow was fully restored to 100% capacity, eliminating constraints due to paraffin accumulation. Pipeline transportation stabilized, downtime occurrences decreased, and the frequency of maintenance interventions was reduced. These outcomes translated into lower operational costs and increased equipment availability, validating Betaflow PP as an essential component in flow assurance programs.
