Which mechanism acutely limits oil well output during cold snaps?

💡 Explanation

Increased oil viscosity from lower temperatures boosts frictional losses in pipes, therefore limiting the well's flow rate because increased viscosity opposes the pumps, rather than hydrate or paraffin issues that cause more chronic restrictions.
