The given presentation sums up the eight-year work

experience by people working for our Company and our partners

in the field of:
preventing the wax accumulation in oil-producing wells,
liquidation hydrate accumulation in gas wells,
heating the water wells located in permafrost regions,
servicing the main pipelines.
Besides here you will be presented some new directions in
well repair segment.

Our
company
executes
design,
manufacturing, sale and after sales cervices
of the WELL HEATING UNITS (WHUs)
WHU is most effective remedy wax and waxhydrated accumulations in oil wells and
pipelines.
WHU (FONTAN-S modification) is design
for heating the wells with high viscosity oil for
wireline and other works and the wells,
equipped with sucker road pumps and small
ID tubing.

WELL HEATING UNITS (WHUs)

WHUs are designed to prevent wax and wax-hydrated accumulations in oil wells,
to reduce heavy oil emulsion viscosity, to heat water wells and injectors, to heat
pipelines for wax and high-viscosity oils.
Operating principle is to heat tubing inside volume with a purpose heating cable
located inside/outside of tubing and inside of rods. The cable is located within the
interval of wax crystallization and heats fluid to the temperature exceeding the wax
crystallization point.
When a cable operates the oil is heated to temperature exceeding wax
crystallization point. The WHU principle of work consists in heating inner space of
oil-well tube by means of the special isolated heating cable placed inside tubing or
placed on outside surface of tubing or placed in a column of hollow rods of a
sucker rod pump (WHU with the length equal to the interval of maximum wax
crystallization).

WHU has successfully been tested on such oilfields as LUKOIL, ROSNEFT TNKBP and, having got good reputation, is successfully applied by the above
mentioned companies for prevention of wax accumulation. Units are maintained in
all climatic zones, from the South up to the far North, solving the problem of longterm trouble-free work of wells, having shown the high economic efficiency.
At all wells equipped by electro cable Units WHU, there has been identified well
production rate increase by 10-30 %. Moreover, the wells equipped with ESP, the
equipment lifetime continuity increased up to 700 and more days which appeared
to be twice longer that it had been before and due to nonstop work of the pump,
and due to decrease in loading due to thinning down oil in the tubing.
Practical application of WHU in oil production has shown, that a full recoupment
period of units (for wells with production rate 25-35 cubic m /150-220 bbl/ daily and
at continuous nonstop operation of a cable 50 KW) does not exceed 60 days, for
more productive wells this period was two times shorter that allowed to lower
expenses on production and reduce the cost price of extracted oil.

WHU FONTAN
Operating principle is to heat tubing
inside volume with a purpose heating
cable located in the area of intensive
wax accumulation.
When a cable operates the oil is
heated to temperature exceeding wax
crystallization point . This provides:
Permanent cleanness of tubing
inside volume, X-mass tree and
adjacent flow lines;
Increasing of capacity and overhaul
life for ESP;
Operating continuity for a well and
flow lines;
Exclusion of necessity for other dewaxing operations;
Environmental safety around a well;
Easy well operation;
Decreasing of oil losses and
increasing a well utilization rate;
Continuous well operation in remote
areas and wells producing high
viscosity oil.

WHU FONTAN-N
The unit is designed to
heat wells with a heating
cable located on outside
surface of tubing to

prevent wax and waxhydrated accumulations

in oil wells, to reduce
heavy
oil
emulsion
viscosity, to heat water
wells and injectors. It is
accepted for all well
types.

WHU FONTAN-S

The unit is designed to prevent wax

and wax-hydrated accumulations in oil
wells, to reduce heavy oil emulsion
viscosity, to heat water wells and
injectors. It is accepted for oil wells
equipped with sucker rod pumps.

Pipeline Heating
Operating principle is to heat pipeline inside volume with a heating cable located inside the pipeline. When a
cable operates the oil is heated to temperature exceeding wax crystallization point.
Installation method depends on a pipeline design (buried, surface), length, diameter and angle of expansion
joints.

Standard set of equipment:

eating cable;
Control desk with spare parts;
Well head packer;
Connection terminal;
Wellhead wired temperature gauge;
Flash memory (S-card);
Software.

Additional set of equipment:

Wellhead RIH/POOH heating cable device;
Step-up transformer (if cable length is more than
1150);
Draw works;
Cable forced RIH device.

CONTROL DESK FOR CABLE HEATING

The Control Desk is fully automatic and runs the following:
-Switch on/off cable heating;
-Cable voltage and load current control;
- Cable temperature change control;
- Maintenance of cable heating through switching off when it exceeds the target
temperature;
- Decrease in heating power when pump unit is off;
-Protection of heating cable from short circuit through loss of current control;
-Automatic switch on after power interruption or when temperature drops below wax
crystallization point;
-Monitoring of operation parameters;
-Mode of operation for temperature setting;
- Recording of operations.

Equipment of the control desk allows for data transmission to a dispatch control room or
personal computer. In this regard it is possible to remotely monitor heating parameters online, correct input data, receive information from the station controller data backup archives
without going out to the field. Data can be transmitted through one of the following
communication channels:

Through a wire link using a modem. The advantage of the above communication
channel setup is in being unaffected by the remoteness of a well and the land topography,
availability of cellular communication in the area. Its drawback is poor availability of wire
communication lines on pads and well sites in sparsely populated areas.

Through cellular communication operators using GSM-modems or any other protocol.

HEATING CABLE

Constructional cable features mean, first of all, its features

of operation: its fastening on a well mouth and its working
in the suspended position, at the raised temperature of
heating strands, in aggressive gas-liquid environment.
Therefore the cable except for wire-lines of load-bearing
shield has the armored polymeric skin, and while using
building cable lengths - from above 2000 meters (6500ft) central load-bearing wire-line. For increase of cable
reliability the heating conductors connected to various
poles of a feed supply, are divided into groups through
isolating wire bundles.
