This paper discusses the application of biological mixtures for prevention of paraffin deposits in oil wells. Three biological mixtures were field tested. Statistical data on test results in Canada and the United States are presented outlining application parameters. Several case histories are presented including some Thermal Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (TC-MS) work on treated wells. Theoretical mechanisms of the paraffin control process are discussed.
