Sinopec commissions first electric intelligent tubular heater for oil and gas fields

Key highlights
  • Sinopec's Northeast Oil and Gas Branch deployed a 120 kW electric intelligent tubular heating device, marking first domestic use of high‑pressure end rapid heating in oil and gas fields.
  • The device eliminates fuel‑gas combustion, integrates with field microgrids and reduces CO2 emissions.
  • It delivers higher thermal efficiency and safety than traditional water‑jacket furnaces and mitigates gas‑well freeze blockages.
  • Deployment shortens construction cycles and supports multi‑energy coupled integrated energy systems in oil and gas fields.

Deployment

The 120 kW electric intelligent tubular heating device developed by Sinopec's Northeast Oil and Gas Branch was put into operation, marking the company's first domestic use of high‑pressure end rapid heating in oil and gas fields.

Technical advantages

Compared with traditional water‑jacket furnaces, the device provides higher thermal efficiency, improved safety and environmental performance, and effectively addresses gas‑well freeze and blockage issues.

Operational and environmental impact

Operating without fuel gas, the unit reduces CO2 emissions, shortens construction cycles, integrates with field intelligent microgrids, and supports multi‑energy coupled integrated energy systems in oil and gas fields.
