Crude-oil production and pipeline operations requiring flow assurance

Flow assurance

Pour Point Depressants

Polymeric flow-improvement solutions selected according to crude or fuel characteristics.

The challenge

Selection must consider wax distribution, fluid composition, thermal history and target operating conditions. Effective screening also considers wax appearance behavior, expected transport temperature and the gap between current and required low-temperature flow performance.

Our approach

Pour point depressants are polymeric solutions used to modify wax-crystal behavior and improve low-temperature flow performance. Horizons Apex supports product screening, formulation adjustment and performance evaluation against defined targets such as pour point, handling behavior and transport requirements.

Typical applications

  • Crude-oil low-temperature performance
  • Selected fuel applications, subject to technical review

Technical support

  • Fluid composition, wax tendency and operating-condition review
  • Comparative dosage screening under representative temperature conditions
  • Pour-point and flow-performance evaluation
  • Formulation adjustment and compatibility review

Product availability, chemistry, concentration, packaging and regulatory status may vary by market and application. Final recommendations are subject to technical and commercial review.
