Abstract

The heating methods currently used at oil delivery sites and transfer stations on North China Oilfield include electric bar heating, fuel oil heating, gas heating, etc. The traditional heating methods have adverse effect on energy conservation and environmental protection. They have low energy efficiency of heating and produces great pollution to the environment. The air source heat pump technology uses the heat in the air as the low-temperature heat source and transforms it to the high-temperature hot water, which will later serve as a heat tracing for crude oil gathering and transportation. No combustion effluent is produced in operation and the energy-saving effect is outstanding with high social-benefit.

Highlights

  • In the process of oil field construction, difficulties in oil pipeline construction might be caused by improper locations of some wells, environmental or some other factors

  • Electric heating rod heating, fuel heating and gas heating are used as the heating methods of oil delivery sites and transfer stations

  • The traditional heating methods are of low energy efficiency and produce significant pollution to the environment

Summary

Introduction

In the process of oil field construction, difficulties in oil pipeline construction might be caused by improper locations of some wells, environmental or some other factors. It is necessary to install a storage tank in the well site and use an oil tanker to carry out oil and gas. As the crude oil in the storage tank contains bitumen and other viscous substances, it is necessary to heat the storage tank before transportation to improve crude oil fluidity. Electric heating rod heating, fuel heating and gas heating are used as the heating methods of oil delivery sites and transfer stations. Facing the increasingly severe environmental problems together with high gas costs, using clean energy to replace conventional energy is the main direction of oil field heating in the future
