Advantages

  • Removal of paraffin from pump and tubing to surface facilities.
  • In some instances cleanup of perforations has resulted in greater production of oil, water, and gas.
  • Use existing fluid in wellbore –NO introduction of H20 or produced oil.
  • Work with customer chemical representative to introduce chemical while fluid is hot.

Thermo Treating vs. Hot Oiling

ThermoTreat

  • Electric heating / No open flame
  • Uses fluid directly from the well for treatment with no lost production
  • Gradual fluid temperature increase throughout treatment 6-8 hours
  • Fluid heated and circulated through the entire wellbore
  • Longer contact time with heated well bore fluids allows a more complete removal of paraffin

Hot Oiling

  • Propane heating / Open flame
  • Production pulled from tank battery used for treatment
  • Heated fluid pumped down annulus in 1-2 hours depending on operator
  • No circulation of heated fluid
  • May or may not recover oil used from tank battery
