Are your question: What does the typical deposition in a crude oil pipeline consist of - and can it be re-cycled?

And- presumably it will contain significant amounts of iron compounds (oxides, sulfides, etc) in addition to hydrocarbons (presuming the pipe is in oil/gas service).
 
Can you just collect a sample and send it in for analysis?
