| Summary: | Paraffinic crude oils are very valuable, because of the products that can be obtained from them, but the challenge is to produce them and transport them. If the characteristics show that an oil is paraffinic, the paraffin precipitation and deposition can occur from a point between the reservoir and surface facilities or during transport by pipeline, causing possible damage to the formation if it is deposited in the reservoir , operational problems and increases in costs and in severe cases even loss of the well.It is advisable to make an early diagnosis in order to implement preventive systems and not wait that for the problem increases with the consequences mentioned.This paper presents an analysis of the problem, patterns of characterization and finally we explain the case of Colorado field, where despite of being a mature field, are making advances in research whose results can help mitigate problems of precipitation of organics in other oil fields |
