Oil well heating electric heating cable effect in heavy oil well shaft insulation
The viscosity of heavy oil is extremely sensitive to temperature During inflow through the wellbore, as the temperature decreases, the viscosity of crude oil increases dramatically, the friction pressure gradient increases, the fluidity in the wellbore decreases, and the complexity of production increases significantly. Electric heating technology can quickly increase the temperature of crude oil in the wellbore, and with appropriate heat preservation measures, the temperature of crude oil can be maintained above a certain temperature.

The viscosity of heavy oil is extremely sensitive to temperature During flow through the wellbore, as the temperature decreases, the viscosity of crude oil increases dramatically, the friction pressure gradient increases, the fluidity in the wellbore decreases, and the complexity of production increases significantly. Electric heating technology can quickly increase the temperature of crude oil in the wellbore, and with appropriate heat preservation measures, the temperature of crude oil can be maintained above a certain temperature.
Electric heating technology
In the electric heating oil extraction process, electric heating rods, heating cables, and electric heating oil pipes are commonly used as a heat carrier to heat and insulate the well bore. Among them, the electric heating rod process is more widely used. Huaning hollow rod electric heating system is a complex of general equipment consisting of a hollow rod, heating cable, power supply, and so on. It uses the thermal energy generated by electric heating to heat the crude oil in the oil pipe throughout the process to reduce the viscosity of the crude oil, prevent the deposition of paraffin in the oil pipe, improve the fluidity of the crude oil and achieve the goal. Increase in productivity and efficiency.
Working Principle of Oil Well Heating Cable
The Huaning Hollow Rod Electric Heating System shall penetrate the inner hole of the hollow pump rod and form a loop with the hollow rod body, pass through AC of different frequency, use the inner shell effect to generate thermal energy on the wall of the hollow rod through thermal conductivity. The crude oil in the pipe is heated all the way to increase the temperature of the crude oil in the pipe, reduce the viscosity of the crude oil and improve its fluidity to effectively use high viscosity, high freezing temperature and high paraffin crude oil. When the inner cable of the hollow pump rod is powered by alternating current, an internal skin effect is created, the current flows down the inner wall of the hollow rod, and the outer wall is basically without current, which can be viewed as an insulator. To ensure labor safety.
When the inner cable of the hollow pump rod is powered by alternating current, an internal skin effect is created, the current flows down the inner wall of the hollow rod, and the outer wall has basically no current, which can be considered an insulator. To ensure labor safety.
Its structural diagram is as follows:
Huaning Electric Heating Rod has the following characteristics:
The process is simple and the design is convenient. No need for special machinery and equipment for oil production;
Long life, electric heating of hollow rods compared to conventional heating cables, and the cable sheath is made of seamless steel pipe with high tensile strength and excellent mechanical properties and can be used in harsh conditions;
High thermal efficiency. The oil well heating cable is located in the center of the oil pipe, and the thermal energy is used almost entirely to heat the crude oil around the hollow pumping rod;
Self-monitoring the conversation. The output power of the continuous steel pipe heating cable can be adjusted according to the oil well conditions.
Its working principle is to heat the cable through a continuous steel pipe, reduce the heat generated in the conversion of electrical energy to affect the well fluid, increase the temperature of the well fluid, thereby reducing the viscosity of the crude oil, improving the flow. Heavy oil in the wellbore and ensuring uninterrupted production of heavy oil through the wellbore.

Electrical heating installation precautions
Electric heating cable is a heating method that uses insulation resistance or resistance heating wire to create a temperature after power supply. It can automatically adjust the output temperature and reasonably maintain the process temperature requirements to keep warm, raise the temperature and protect the heating equipment from freezing. The insulation and antifreeze effect of the container is very good.
Which electric heating should be chosen for the main pipeline transport of heavy oil
Transport of heavy oil through the pipeline over long distances and long-term retention in the pipeline will result in a drop in temperature due to heat dissipation and increased viscosity, which will cause the pipeline to be blocked by freezing or condensation-related accidents. Electric heating is widely used as effective insulation of pipelines and anti-freeze protection.
Which electric heating cable should be considered for a 4 km pipeline
According to the statistics of the Hydrometeorological Center, the average daily minimum temperature at the location of the CNPC tank farm is 5 ° C, and the average daily maximum temperature is 14 ° C. Since the freezing point of the PX is about 15 °C, the supply pipeline needs heat preservation and heating. The oil depot has been in operation for many years without a stable source of steam, therefore, this project is considering the use of electric heating technology.
Application of outdoor electric heating cable in oil main pipelines with high paraffin content
Long-distance crude oil pipelines with a high paraffin content with freezing temperatures above 50 °C. According to the requirements of the production plan of the plant, the volume of oil transportation through the pipeline is 150 thousand rubles. Tons per year, maximum-200 thousand. Tons per year.. According to the thermodynamic analysis of the pipeline, the initial supply temperature of the pipeline is 80 ° C (TN), and the temperature of the end entering the tank is 60 ° C (Tu). Since the transportation temperature needs to be adjusted according to the time of year, it sometimes needs to be transported by heat.
What heating product to choose for main infusion pipelines
In petrochemical engineering, trunk infusion pipelines are the lifeblood of the factories. The temperature in the northern region is too low in winter and the pipeline needs to be insulated to compensate for the heat loss due to the low temperature in winter to ensure the normal operation of the pipeline.
The role of leather tracer cables in the insulation of asphalt main pipelines
The toughness of the asphalt is greatly affected by the temperature. When the temperature decreases, the toughness of the asphalt increases, and the drop in resistance of the asphalt during pipeline transportation increases; when the temperature falls below the freezing point, the asphalt solidifies, causing the pipeline to clog and the conveyor belt to come to trouble. Therefore, electric heating and heat preservation during the transportation of asphalt are very important.
