dbrSOLIDSPredicting precipitation pointsdbrSOLIDS fluid analysis software is a Microsoft Windows-based application that predicts the thermodynamic precipitation point of waxes and asphaltenes with knowledge of reservoir fluid compositions. Module accuracy has been confirmed by laboratory testing. Precipitation of wax and asphaltene is manifested primarily through changes in temperature, pressure, and composition. Composition affects both, but temperature is more significant for wax precipitation, and pressure is more significant for asphaltenes. A flow assurance engineer enters composition and experimental results into the application for prediction and tuning of wax and asphaltene onset points. The results affect field operating strategies to improve well performance.
