Techniques used to prevent or reduce paraffin deposition. The deposition of paraffin can be caused naturally through the process of fluids moving through the reservoir and impair production. Some of the means to prevent paraffin accumulation include the use of paraffin inhibitors; maintaining pipe surfaces in a water-wet condition because paraffin will not adhere to water; coating the pipe with plastic to provide a smooth surface and reduce paraffin adhesion.
Used in solar power plants for the generation of electricity
The project design consists of a liquefaction plant with capacity up to 9 million tons per year of LNG from two processing trains, condensate and gas liquid processing, handling and storage facilities, and a 36-inch natural gas pipeline from supply sources. First supply of LNG is targeted to commence by 2012
Used in international crude oil trade. Can transport between 50,000 – 80,000 tons of crude oil

Paleoseismicity refers to earthquakes recorded geologically, most of them unknown from human descriptions or seismograms. Geologic records of past earthquakes can include faulted layers of sediment and rock, injections of liquefied sand, landslides, abruptly raised or lowered shorelines, and tsunami deposits.
