Thermflux

Thermflux Oilflow has developed a solution to restore production reduce viscosity related challenges and restore production more effectively than mini-soaks. By loosening the heavy oil from the sucker rod, potential catastrophic failures can be completely avoided as produced oil viscosity increases. |
>> THEMFLUX BENEFITS FOR CYCLIC STEAM STIMULATION
| Restore production and associated revenue | Eliminate rod hang up | Reduce loads on pump jacks |
| Reduce stuffing box maintenance | Eliminate risk of unseating pump with high pressure steam | Lower cost alternative to mini-soaks |
| Reduce potential safety risks during the mini-soak process | Reduce Green House Gas Emissions (GHG’s) | Reduce Steam to Oil Ratio (SOR) |
>> HOW DOES THERMFLUX WORK?
With Thermflux treatment, heavy oil is mobilized from the production tubing and around the pump inlet. The increased mobility of oil in the wellbore allows for better thermal connectivity between producing zones and spreads the heat load. The sucker rod is reseated and the pump is restarted with ease with minimal potential HSE risks.
By eliminating the stresses and loads on equipment, the pump jack can be re-started readily without the aid and time constraints of the mini-soak process.
Thermflux cannot specifically replace the heating and pressurization process, but Thermflux has proven to be an effective tool in safely restoring production in a cost-effective manner.
