The formation of voids is eminent below the pour point temperature of waxy crude oil. This paper discusses the temporal variation of voids in waxy crude oil gel in the presence of temperature gradient between the waxy crude oil and its ambient condition. Cooling of waxy crude oil to an end temperatu...
