Structure and Supporting Elements of Article 1

The research was presented at a Spring meeting in south western district of San Antonio, Tex in April 1935.

C.E. Reistle Jr, is a member of East Texas Engineering Association at Kilgore, Tex.

The article lacks any such section called data collection.

Is it constructed clearly?

A research needs to have introduction, literature review, methodology, findings and analysis and conclusions and recommendation. The acknowledgement is given in the beginning after the abstract. This article is a deviation, as it has only introduction, literature review, conclusion and references. Moreover, acknowledgement is given before the references. Therefore, the research has been improperly structured.

Does the use of tables, charts and graphs add to the conclusion and explanations?

The tables, charts and graphs depict the dynamics of paraffin production instead of the anticipated findings. Therefore, the validity of the deduced conclusion can be questioned.

Section 3

The paper revolves around the dynamics of paraffin production. Several problems arise in this production, which can be solved by regulating the current situation. This control helps the operator to make the necessary modifications (Reistle 1935). Balance between the production and application methods helps the operators to handle the issues in cheaper rates. The paper also proposes that these kinds of issues are also found in the process of crude oil production.

High melting waxes found in petroleum is the chief ingredient for the paraffin production. The original existence of crude oil in the reservoirs reflects the solubility of paraffin. The major drive behind this is the presence of dissolves methane and ethane in huge quantities (Reistle 1935). Radiation of the heat in the surrounding precipitates the wax, preventing the paraffin from depositing on the sand face, pipes among others.

Bibliography or additional readings are the supporting elements.

Difference with the other articles

The other research articles have a proper structure, which is missing in this research.

Section 4

Central ideas of the paper

The paper enhances the clarity of the readers regarding the control of paraffin deposition, which is one of the important aspects in the overall productions. As a matter of specification, the paper highlights the introduction of tubbing or squeezing techniques for regulating wax depositions (McClaflin and Whitfill 1984). Improper utilization of these techniques results in damage, leading to financial loss.

Assumptions made

Field and lab experiments depict the applicability of broad paraffin dispersant packages. This is because it is a more productive and cost effective device as compared to the hot oil. These packages are advantageous as they can be used in other techniques such as batch testing. Using a solvent of choice helps in the selection of the paraffin dispersant (McClaflin and Whitfill 1984).

Section 3

Central ideas of the paper

Paraffin deposition is a loss, which damages the equipments, resulting in huge financial loss. Paraffin inhibitors with simulation treatments have long term success and great durability. Little protection is needed in the application of the injector inhibitors for best results. Chemical treatments for the deposition of the walls give best results (Frances, Bhaduri and Hughes 2018).  

Assumptions made

Blending of proppant like inhibitors into the proppants restores the productivity of the treatments. Evaluations of the substrates have found the presence of substrates on the surface areas. The range of these substrates is from 25% to a high of 200%. This is in case of the traditional products. Blending of the fractional fluids with the inhibitors bestows additional treatment options on the scientists for dealing with the paraffin deposition issues in the wells (Frances, Bhaduri and Hughes 2018).

Supporting elements

The references given at the end of the research article are the supporting elements for the readers to enhance their knowledge on the subject matter.

Self response to the assumptions of the article

I feel the article is extremely beneficial for the readers, who are passionate towards the mechanism of the production process. Even if the readers possess less knowledge, the nomenclature is there to help them. A little research on the internet would ease the difficulties.

Rating for the article

This article would get 5 out of 5.

Relation with the other concepts

The concepts of the articles are related with each other. Introduction, theories of the literature review and results of the data collected are crucial for deducing relevant conclusions.

Future scope for research

This research is a secondary source of information for the researchers and scientists intending to carry out further researcher on this subject matter.
