Discussion on Improving Quality and Efficiency of Oilfield Wellhead Heating Equipment

The oil and gas production process in onshore oil fields mainly includes multiple production process, including underground oil extraction, surface heating and transportation [1], liquid separation and sedimentation, sewage treatment, and sewage reinjection. Surface heating requires a large amount of crude oil, natural gas, and electricity [3–5], and energy consumption expenses account for about 20% of the production and operation costs of oil extraction units. Heating equipment is an important thermal equipment for oil and gas production, especially when old oil fields enter the later stage of development, facing the characteristics of a large number of production wells, a large base of supporting heating equipment, and a variety of types, improving their technical management level has become an important topic. Based on years of experience in selecting matching heating equipment and energy-saving management, this article analyzes and explores the selection of wellhead heating equipment, hoping to provide some reference for improving the quality and efficiency of oilfield surface process technology management.
