The gelling properties of waxy crude oil is typified, mechanism of each gelling process is analyzed, and rheological properties of gelled crude oil and pour point as well as yield stress is discussed.

• 摘要按照含蜡原油形成胶凝结构的原因，将含蜡原油的胶凝分为两类，即冷却胶凝和等温触变性胶凝，分别对每种胶凝过程的机理进行了分析，并对原油胶凝结构的流变学性质，以及凝点、屈服值等流变学指标进行了讨论。
