摘要：

With case studies, the practices, problems, and prospects of handling waxy crude oils in Nigeria are discussed. Using a rotational viscometer, the temperature dependence of rheological properties and thirotropy of these crudes were determined. Suggestions are given on.how to improve hnndling practices. These suggestions include adequate screening and ranking of war inhibitors, taking into account pour-point depression, viscosity, nd yield value. Rheological studies wouM help in pipeline design and handling methods. A thorough knowledge of the nature of the crude oil at the time of discovery would help in the design of well completion and production facilities to optimize production. © 1990 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
