摘要：
The Stoney Creek field, located outside Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, has been challenged by production problems throughout its history. The oil is identified as paraffinic oil with high wax content (estimates between 19.5% to over 50% wax) but no wax deposits have been found throughout the life of the field. The pour points and viscosities were found to vary greatly with weathering and thermal history, so previous rheological information may not be accurate. The effect of weathering on the rheology of the oil was studied and results presented.
