Do asphaltenes and scales deposit in pipelines and risers used in oil production?

08 August 2018 0 10K Report

I am interested in finding out the causes, effects and remedies of asphaltene and scale deposition in petroleum production pipelines and risers, especially in the Niger Delta. Is this a researchable topic? Can field professionals and consultants share insights as to problems experienced in practice and what are the current remedies applied, with outstanding constraints?
