Evaluation of silane-based surfactant nanohybrid as flow improver in a Malaysian light crude oil

Paraffin deposition in the crude oil production pipeline has been an alarming problem to the flow assurance community. This phenomenon causes a tremendous amount of material loss in the production and substantial resources are expended to resolve these flow assurance problems—which included the chem...
