How does QuickFlo work?
When mixed with adequate amounts of good crude oil and agitated, QuickFlo breaks down paraffin causing it to return to the crude oil solution where it remains in solution until refining takes place. Furthermore, one of the major added benefits for QuickFlo applications is a reduction in viscosity apparent in the oil that has been treated. This will improve all aspects of production from the treatment point all the way through the flow lines to the refinery!
Not only does our product work efficiently, it can be proven to be one of the most cost-effective paraffin treatments available to the industry.
QuickSilverUSA offers a solution to prevent paraffin precipitation that returns wax back to the oil phase. In a case study, their product was applied to a well in Kazakhstan producing 170 bopd. After treatment, production increased to 378 bopd at the original 300 RPM pump speed. To avoid drawdown issues, the RPM was reduced to 250, maintaining a long-term rate of 265 bopd, exceeding expectations. The product is non-toxic, biodegradable, and a greener alternative to hazardous wax treatments.

FloWell also proved 100% effective in removing wax deposits from a gas condensate stream.
The document summarizes how a food processing plant in the Midwest US switched from using a mineral-based hydraulic oil to a synthetic blend hydraulic oil in their conveying equipment. The mineral oil was emulsifying when exposed to water during daily washdowns, requiring frequent and premature oil changes that interrupted production. The plant switched to Molykote L-1346FG synthetic blend hydraulic oil, which prevented emulsification and allowed the oil to last its full rated lifetime of 6 months without changes. This reduced annual oil and disposal costs by 57% per piece of equipment, along with reducing labor costs and downtime for changes.
The document provides an overview of refinery processes and control valve guidelines for various units within a refinery.

This research work is focused at determining the best combined factors (temperature, concentration & salinity) for the most stable O/W Emulsion and consequently considering the effect the factors have on the amount of oil content recovered after transportation through the piping system at the minimal pressure drop possible. In order to achieve this, the formulation of emulsion using stabilized alkaline solution according to the specific formulated factorial combination was done. Pumping of the formulated emulsions through a pilot scale pipe-system was considered. Also, thermal demulsification of emulsion transported to measure the oil content recovered, in order to ascertain the best yield under the best conditions was carried out.
Data obtained from the experiments performed shows that run 8 with highest factorial level (75C, 1wt. %, 0.1M) has the most stable emulsion with no phase separation, higher flowability and very reduced pressure drop. Similar trend was also seen in run 4 with the least pressure drop.
The observed properties of emulsions formed can be attributed to the effect of (i) concentration of the aqueous phase (ii) salinity of the aqueous phase and (iii) emulsification temperature.
Crude Oil Emulsion Treatment by the Application of Chemical DemulsifiersIRJET Journal
This document discusses the treatment of crude oil emulsions through the use of chemical demulsifiers. Crude oil is often produced along with water, forming emulsions that must be treated before transportation or refining. The author tests five different chemical demulsifiers - lime, carrot oil, alum, detergent, and camphor - using the bottle test method to determine the most effective option. Results show that lime demulsifier separated the emulsion into clear oil and water phases in the shortest time (1 minute) using the least amount (0.4 mL) of demulsifier, and is therefore recommended for treating the light, sweet crude oil emulsion samples from Umuseti Well 6 in Delta State, Nigeria.

4) Impurities in lube oil, their sources and removal, and practices to ensure oil
Catalytic fines are small particles of catalyst that escape from the fluid catalytic cracking process in oil refineries. They are 20-100 microns in size and can cause damage to ship engines if not removed from fuel oil. Fuel handling equipment like centrifuges must reduce catalytic fine levels from 80 ppm in received fuel to 15 ppm or less before fuel reaches the engine. Proper fuel storage, settling, and handling can help remove fines and prevent engine damage. Refineries are increasingly pushing limits of catalytic fines in fuel as they work to extract more distillates from crude oil.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

1. FloWell Solutions
Dear Customer,
Thank you for taking time to look at the
FloWell Solutions Product.
We share with you a desire to improve production,
reduce operating costs, and harness one of the world’s
major fossil fuels, OIL, in an environmentally safe and
efficient manner.
Yours Faithfully,
2. QuickSilverUSA////TM.
www.quicksilverusa.org
Increased Production =
Increased Profit!
There are many ways to increase profits!
Increase in productivity and reduction in
production expenses are the two sure ways!
We have a product to offer you which
combines both of the goals!
We are pleased to be able to introduce to
you an application product that will assist
you to achieve all these aims.
Welcome to
QuickSilverUSA/// TM.
3. QuickSilverUSA////TM.
www.quicksilverusa.org
What is FloWell?
FloWell is a non-hazardous aqueous
solution that is formulated to return
precipitated wax (Paraffin) to it’s original
oil phase in crude oil.
It is a non-flammable and non-toxic
product for use in all phases of the
oil industry.
The result from a typical application
is a marked increase in oil production,
improved oil to water mix, and
reductions in well down time
and maintenance costs.
QuickSilverUSA/// TM.
4. QuickSilverUSA////TM.
www.quicksilverusa.org
What is paraffin wax
in oil?
Paraffin wax is a component of Crude Oil.
There are two main phases for Paraffin’s,
Cloud Point and Pour Point.
Cloud point is the temperature at which
Paraffin’s start to wax and precipitate out of
the crude oil.
Pour point is the temperature at which this
waxing process becomes so prolific that the
oil ceases to flow.
FloWell remediates this Paraffin waxing
process, and returns the wax back to the oil
where it remains right through to the
refining process irrespective of temperature
considerations thereafter.
QuickSilverUSA/// TM.
5. QuickSilverUSA////TM.
www.quicksilverusa.org
How does FloWell work?
When mixed with adequate amounts of
good crude oil and agitated, FloWell
breaks down Paraffin causing it to return
to the crude oil solution where it remains
in solution until refining takes place.
Furthermore, one of the major added
benefits for FloWell applications is a
reduction in viscosity apparent in the oil
that has been treated. This will improve all
aspects of production from the treatment
point all the way through the flow lines to
the refinery!
Not only does our product work efficiently,
it can be proven to be one of the most
cost-effective paraffin treatments available
to the industry.
QuickSilverUSA/// TM.
6. QuickSilverUSA////TM.
www.quicksilverusa.org
Where can FloWell
be applied?
FloWell can be applied at any point in the oil
production process where Paraffin build-up
occurs. It is most effective in the following
applications:
· Down hole
· Flow line
· Tank bottom
· Pipeline
· Transportation tankers
· Tank farm facility operations
QuickSilverUSA/// TM.
7. QuickSilverUSA////TM.
www.quicksilverusa.org
Down the well
Let us examine one of these applications!
When applied to your production wells,
FloWell disperses paraffin deposits as well as
scale-like deposits which occur in the well
bore, perforations, and pump during down
well operations.
In addition to eliminating paraffin build-up
around the tubing and pumping
components, monitoring of application will
ensure any existing and future paraffin
deposits will also be eliminated by FloWell
and prevented from accumulating in flow
lines and separators.
Additionally, by applying FloWell to down
well operations, one can increase the
effectiveness of scale and corrosion
inhibitors, plus keep waxy deposits out
of water handling facilities.
QuickSilverUSA/// TM.
8. FloWell Application Study No.1
Please study this chart showing a typical case study for a well in the UK
providing the cost effectiveness and enhanced profitability available from
using FloWell.

FloWell Application
Study No.1 continued...
You can see from the chart the production
average rose from 10 BBL’s per day to just over
18 BBL’s per day!
An amazing increase in production of nearly 80%
which when valued at current oil prices equates to
increase profits around $720.00 per day! As these
figures are taken from real production trials then
even after treatment with FloWell there can be on
site issues affecting production therefore as seen
below, some negative figures can affect our data
accordingly.
It is worth noting, the chart only logs the
increased production, but does not calculate the
hidden savings from less down time, equipment
failure and breakages, reduced chemical
applications, cleaning activities along with their
respective labour costs all drastically reduced by
an application of FloWell.

FloWell Application
Study No.2
Water Reduction:
The previous chart only shows the increases
achieved in production, and this was selected from
a typically good well.
It does not demonstrate the improved production
figures that can be achieved when FloWell is applied
into wells with high water content and a treatment
of FloWell is continued throughout the production
period following the initial treatment.
FloWell is unique because it is highly efficient at
separating oil from water so where a customer has
particularly high water content with their oil
production, then they will see additional production
bene ts using FloWell. This following chart
demonstrates just how effective this can be...
QuickSilverUSA/// TM.
12. QuickSilverUSA////TM.

FloWell Application
Study No.2 continued...
You can see from the production gures above,
the average rose from nearly 5 BBL’s per day to
just over 19 BBL’s per day! An amazing increase
in production of nearly 300% which when
valued at current oil prices equates to increased
profits around $1275.00 per day!
This was achieved primarily through two factors,
one the efficient manner that the water is
separated from the oil by FloWell and secondly by
implementing a strategy of dosing the well with
FloWell throughout it’s production campaigns.
This methodology is proven to be cost efficient by
lengthening the times between well cleaning
operations and maintaining optimum levels of
well production.

Oil Viscosity Reduction
continued...
Figure 1 shows the effect of FloWell on oil viscosity
as a function of time. The laboratories Viscometer
was run at 1.0rpm, so that no stirring was induced.
The drop of viscosity (Figure 1) is therefore due to
penetration of the oil by FloWell with time. The result
of this test model was an apparent drop in viscosity
of about 90%:
· Adding sequentially, 1cc of FloWell + 2cc distillate (2%
· and 4% by volume, respectively) also lowers viscosity
· to 35% of original.
· Adding both together (1cc FloWell and 1cc distillate)
· seems a bit more effective. Adding 2cc of additional
· distallate lowered viscosity to 29% of original.
· Further addition of 2cc of FloWell (a total of 6 volume %)
· drops the apparent viscosity to 480 cp, a value about
· 2% of original.
Remember, once FloWell has returned the Paraffin’s (wax)
back to the oil phase then they stay in the crude oil with
the lowered viscosity through a wide band of
temperature ranges to the refinery process.

Even more savings!
What we have not demonstrated are the savings that are
achieved from the following areas:
· Fewer Hot Oil or Hot Water washes down wells consequently
· this will result in significant savings on well down time!
· Reduction in wear on well head equipment, no string breaks
· due to precipitated wax, less wear and tear means less
· breakdowns with down time consequently equals more
· production!
· Less power required to produce the oil.
· Less water separation from the oil produced therefore less
· handling costs
· Fewer chemical applications, this can save thousands
· of dollars!
· Reduction in labour operating costs at the well head site
· Improved oil flow downstream through pipelines and
· storage tanks along with their respective handling
· equipment all the way to the re ning process
· More effective well extraction in terms of oil produced means
· that the site is being exploited more efficiently important
· in times of oil depletion across the globe!
