Permanent Magnet (PM) Induction Heater for Paraffin Abatement
SBC: AUSTIN GEOTECH SERVICES INC Topic: 20bThere are an estimated 1.7 million oil and gas wells in the United States, 771,000 of these are considered marginal producers. Combined they make up 11.3% of the US oil production and 8.3% of the US gas production. In that last 10 years, over 131,000 of these oil wells and 48,000 gas wells have been plugged and abandoned. Most of these wells suffer from paraffin plugging problems. The only way to ...
