Wax components can precipitate from petroleum fluids when the original equilibrium conditions of the reservoir are changed so that the solubility of the waxes is reduced; however, wax precipitation does not necessarily lead to deposition. This page discusses wax precipitation behavior and experimental measurements to predict the tendency of a crude oil to precipitate wax. | |||

Biodegradation occurs when bacteria, fungi, or other organism or biological process chemically dissolves materials. The process can be beneficial or detrimental within the industry depending on the circumstances. For instance, biodegradation via bacteria can aid in the cleanup of oil spills. | |||
During biodegradation, microbial organisms metabolize petroleum, degrading the hydrocarbon content. The process can take more or less time depending on the amount of type and amount of bacteria, the reservoir or ecosystem in which the bacteria are found, and the amount of oxygen present. | |||
