Abstract
The formation of organic deposits is one of the most common problems in the production and transportation of well products. In the fight against this complication, many modern methods are used, one of them is the “Controlled Layer” technology. One of the most important values considered when determining the technological efficiency of this technology is the thermal conductivity of organic deposits. In this work, laboratory studies were carried out to determine the nature and degree of change in the thermal conductivity of these deposits from the water content of the studied emulsion. Analyzing the results of laboratory studies, it becomes obvious that the high-water content of the transported emulsion increases the
thermal conductivity of deposits, which has an exceptionally negative impact on the technological efficiency of the technology under consideration.
