Abstract

One of the key problems of the oil industry is the of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposit (ARPD) formation which affects the efficiency of well equipment operation. This leads to significant economic losses during extraction and transportation of products. In conditions of a reduction in the resource base of liquid hydrocarbons, the inability of constant monitoring the well operation process becomes a critical factor for the technical and economic aspects of the activities of oil and gas production departments. The factors influencing the intensity of ARPD formation including changes in the characteristics of productive formations and the use of reservoir pressure maintenance are analyzed. The need to ARPD control within the framework of various systems and geological and technical measures is important for effective control of sediment intensity. Taking into account the nonlinearity of the ARPD formation process is a key point in solving urgent issues of well safe operation. An integrated approach taking into account the peculiarities of the ARPD formation at various facilities to increase the efficiency and durability of downhole equipment is recommended.
