Heat Insulated Tubings

The main application of Heat Insulated Tubings is:

  • to prevent continuous permafrost from defrosting near wellbore zones and to prevent bridgeover during well operations,
  • to prevent walls of heat insulated tubings from wax precipitation during oil production,
  • to keep formation fluid temperature,
  • to prevent gas hydration during gas production,
  • to inject steam during viscous oil recovery,
  • to provide ecological balance during oil and gas production in the offshore wells,
  • to prevent casing collapse due to depressurizing in the isolated interstices of the annulus in the offshore wells.

Design features of Heat Insulated Tubings

  • Possibility to control and restore vacuum in a tubular annulus,
  • To compensate heat expansion of the inner tube it is possible to install expansion joints in order to inject the steam which allows to unload welded seams from severe load and thus increasing the operation life of a heat insulated tubing by several times.
