Is Paraffin Killing Your Production?

2-minute screener estimates your wax deposition risk, annual cost from paraffin, and the best treatment approach. No sign-up required.

Why This Matters

Paraffin deposition costs US operators over $268 million per year in chemical treatments, hot oiling, and mechanical removal. But the hidden cost is bigger: a 30 BOPD well restricted to 20 BOPD by wax buildup loses $700/day at $70/bbl. That production loss often exceeds the treatment cost by 3-5x.

This screener uses published SPE correlations (Weingarten & Euchner, Won 1986, Singh 2000) to estimate your wax appearance temperature, deposition risk, and annual cost impact. It takes 2 minutes and gives you a clear picture of whether paraffin management should be a priority.
