Paraffins and asphaltenic compounds can damage the formation, reduce the internal diameter of production and transport equipment, restrict or block valves, and can eventually halt production.
Proper, cost effective treatment is complicated due to the variability of produced oil, operating conditions and the wide range of chemicals available to treat the problem. Sterling field staff and chemists conduct laboratory and field testing, enabling us to quickly analyze the treatment parameters and select the appropriate solution. Once the treatment program is implemented, Sterling staff will monitor the situation to maintain effectiveness and avoid reoccurring problems.
