Abstract (English):
Many works pay attention to the problem of asphaltene-resin-paraffin deposits (ARPD) removal, but there is no universal methodology of ARPD inhibition and dissolution. This is due to different conditions of oil production, differences in the composition of oil products and a number of other factors. Studying the composition and structure of oil deposits is important for the development of technologies and methods of their removal and inhibition. The world economy is witnessing a gradual depletion of traditional easily extractable natural resources. Decreasing production of light and medium density oil is a feature of the modern oil production sector. In this regard, heavy oil takes more and more positions in the structure of hydrocarbon production. Russia has significant reserves of heavy and high-viscosity oil. However, the development and refining of heavy oil requires large investments. With the growing demand for hydrocarbon energy carriers in the Russian Federation, it is necessary to apply more efficient methods of oil production. Elimination of the problems associated with ARPD will facilitate field operation and development, increase the production rate and profitability of extra-viscous heavy oil. In order to achieve this goal, research efforts should be made to improve the effectiveness of deposit removal solvents. Knowledge of the component composition and properties of oil sediments facilitates the selection of the most effective solvents, so it is important to have an understanding of the characteristics of the individual components of ARPD. Substantial research in this area is required to develop new approaches and optimise existing methods of deposit removal. This will lead to improved overall productivity and efficiency in the oil and gas industry.
