Flow assurance is currently the most important topic in oil and gas production. This book discuses the fundamentals relevant for precipitation and deposition of solids. It deals individually with the four main problem solids: aspahltene, paraffin wax, gas hydrate and inorganic solids. The appendices contain additional detailed infromation, making the main text more readable. The main audiences for this book are engineers and scientists in oil companies, service companies and engineering companies, that need to become familiar with a new topic.
