Traitement des asphalténes au niveau du champ Hassi Messaoud

Abstract

The exploitation of natural gas has encountered difficulties due to plugging of pipelines by hydrate deposits (plugs formation). To avoid this problem, operators seek to determine the conditions which form these plugs. This work was done on the Hassi Messaoud field, a field that has many Problems of asphalting formation which have caused many accidents. The objective of this work is to analyze and identify the parameters of Asphaltene deposit formation in the Hassi Messaoud field in particular. In this work we studied the preventive treatment of asphaltenic deposits by a reformate / xylene mixture, using the PiPesim software for the stimulation of HTF23 well based on the experimental data: pressure, temperature, after the results obtained we noticed a increase in the flow 1.96 m3/h to 2.87 m3/h.
