Case History A deepwater well in the Gulf of Mexico with bottomhole pressure of approximately 10,000 psi (690 bar) produced 38°API gravity oil that contained approximately 1.3% asphaltenes. Analyses of the oil showed a CII index of 1.27, which indicated that the asphaltenes were unstable and would deposit on subsea and surface equipment. Since the well was in 3,800 ft (1158 m) of water and tied back to a tension leg platform 16 miles (2
