Abstract
Waxes present in crude oil are considered to be responsible for its poor flow properties. Bombay high crude is very waxy and has a pour point of + 30 °C. The influence of nature and concentration of waxes on some of the flow properties, namely pour point, plastic viscosity and yield stress, of dewaxed Bombay high crude have been determined. The hard wax components present in the crude do not appear to significantly influence the low temperature rheology of the crude oil, but do contribute to sludge formation.
