Chemical Treatments using aromatic hydrocarbons
such as Xylene
Mechanical Interventions using Wireline, Coiled
Tubing or Hydraulic Workover
Heated Fluids

All of these solutions have had varying levels of success, but
industry experience shows that the use of heat, by itself or in
conjunction with other methods, greatly increases success
rates in paraffin removal.


Slide 5

The use of heated fluids has been a
universally accepted method of
treating paraffin as can be
evidenced by the widespread use
of Hot Oil Units in the industry
since the late ’40’s or early ’50’s.
….but the existent technology presented serious issues:


Slide 6

The heating mechanism is mechanical and completely
flameless
These units are the only Class 1 Division 2 compliant
thermal units in the industry
The units are very efficient and have a small footprint,
so they are ideal for offshore use.
Fluid temperatures
controlled

are

easily

and

completely

Multifunctional Advanced Remediation Tool

DPV supported Coil Tubing operations
using the MARS tool to unplug a 10 mile 6”
pipeline. The line was washed in one
continuous run to 23,000’, setting a world
record and restoring flow for 1,000 BOPD.

EEL REEL

DPV supported CETCO EEL REEL
operations to unplug a 10 mile 6” pipeline.
The line was washed to 25,000’, breaking
our previous world record and restoring
flow for 3,500 BOPD.

ISS Hydraulic Workover

DPV supported ISS HWO on operations to
unplug 19,000’ 6” flexible flowline in deepwater operations. Heat was used to remove
the plug at 9,500’, completing the project
well under AFE and projected timeline.

Slide 14

DPV positioned heating equipment at
each end of a 9,000’ subsea flowline that
was experiencing restricted flow and
was
inaccessible
to
mechanical
remediation.
Alternating
the
flow
direction of the heated diesel, the line
was cleared restoring full flow and
eliminating backpressure on the existing
wells.

Slide 16

In some cases where blockage was limited
or tight restrictions existed on available
space, DPV has successfully restored well
flow by injecting heated diesel and other
fluids down the tubing, permitting the
solution to soak, and flowing back the well
to flush the tubing.

Slide 17

When wireline and pumping methods were
not adequate (such as complete blockage
of the tubing) and in cases where space
and weight have not been a barrier, DPV
has successfully supported wellbore
cleanouts using Coiled Tubing.

is a multifunctional tool, deployed by heavy
5/16” wireline, that exceeds the cleaning capacity of
chemical treatments and wireline, without resorting to
coiled tubing or hydraulic work-over.

Deck Space Issues?
Limited Crane Capacity?

Electrical Code / Placement Issues?

Budgetary Constraints?


Slide 22

Wellbore cleanouts at controlled wireline speeds, removing
paraffin, asphaltines and other debris from production
tubing.
Dislodging obstacles stuck in wellbore, operating sliding
sleeves, etc.

Running calipers, gyros, or memory tools
Paraffin solvents, crystal modifiers, friction reducers, and gel
sweeps designed for an oil base environment and high
temperatures.


Slide 23

The Thruster provides jet
action ahead of Flo-Jet
tool, assuring the tubing is
cleaned to the wall.
Jet
action
creates
turbulence for blasting
deposits loose and fluid
agitation for chemical
effectiveness.

Flo-Jet deploys through
low profile nipples and
across gas lift mandrels.
Smaller footprint than CT,
more cost effective.

Heavy wire for strong,
secure retrieval and fishing
operations.
