What is Rheology of Waxy Crude Oil Gels about?
This document summarizes a study on the rheology of waxy crude oils and how it relates to restarting gelled pipelines. The study found that (1) the fragmentation stress, sf, required to break up the wax crystal structures is a better predictor of the minimum pressure needed to restart flow than the static stress, ss; (2) waxy crude oils exhibit true yield stress and yielding behavior but can also flow under very slight stresses below the yield point; and (3) initial flow in the elastic region is jagged, sug
