A treatment composition for reducing viscosity, pour point, and precipitate content of a hydrocarbon fluid at temperatures below 90° F., preferably 34° F. to 90° F. The treatment composition includes one or more mixed fatty acid methyl esters, an aromatic mixture consisting essentially of C9 to C15 aromatic compounds, and a main solvent consisting essentially of low odor kerosene, low odor diesel, or a mixture of low odor diesel or low odor kerosene. The treatment composition solubilizes hydrocarbon deposits for removal. The treatment composition also solubilizes paraffins and asphaltenes in a hydrocarbon fluid to prevent or mitigate the formation of hydrocarbon deposits.
A composition for reducing a viscosity, a pour point, or a precipitate content of a hydrocarbon at a temperature below 90° F., comprising:
A method of reducing a viscosity, a pour point, or a precipitate content of a hydrocarbon fluid at a temperature below 90° F., comprising:
A method of removing a hydrocarbon deposit from a flow line, a wellbore, a vessel, or a surface at a temperature in the range of 34° F. to 90° F., comprising:
