Abstract
For live oils, the effect of pressure (amount of dissolved gas) on the wax appearance temperature (WAT) can be quite pronounced. Here, we describe the use of high-pressure micro-differential scanning calorimetry (HP-μDSC) as an effective technique to determine the WAT for live oils. The effect of increasing equilibration time on WAT is described and compared to predictions from a thermodynamic model.
