2. A Power Conditioning Unit (PCU) is required
to set and control reservoir temperature, log
downhole temperatures, pressure and other
operating information.
MxL Induction Heating System
components:
An offset Tubing Hanger and Feed Through are required
to connect the surface power cables to the downhole
ESP cable and provide a pressure seal between the
annulus and atmosphere.

3. ESP Cable is banded to the tubing string from
the feed through to the Side Outlet Sub.
A splice is required at each end.
A Side Outlet Sub is required to transition the ESP cable
from the side of the tubing to the connection at the
Induction Heater. The pump suction pups are installed
above the SoSub.

4. The Induction Heater consists of inductors in smooth wall steel casing together
with temperature sensors and a bottom hole pressure sensor. The picture shows
a system in the shop hooked up with jumper wires for testing and calibration.

8. Typical PCU control panel with
LCD to view set points and real
time formation temperatures and
bottom hole pressure as well as
power, flow line temperature,
flow rate, Amps, Volts, ambient
temperature and a full set of
interlock data. The operating
data are stored and may be
downloaded to the floppy disk,
SD card or transferred, in real
time, over a serial radio link.

9. A wellhead electrical
feed through that
seals the annulus
must be provided
A BIW well head penetrator with flat cable
on the left, protective mesh over the O-ring
seals and round cable on the right is shown
in the above photo.
The photo at the left shows a BIW penetrator about to
be installed in an offset tubing hanger.

10. The Genco penetrator, in some cases,
may be installed in a regular tubing
hanger
A pack-off style tubing hanger
may be used as a feed through
to deliver electricity to the
Induction Heater

12. A joint of inductor in elevators, “tailed by picker crane”, being raised into derrick.

13. An electrical port is provided, at the end of each
joint of inductor, for connection of wires.
The instrument circuit board and
pressure sensor are housed in the
“bullnose” at the end of the tool.

14. The temperatures and bottom hole
pressure signals are collected and
then transmitted to the PCU over
the ESP cable during delivery of
power to the tool. Real time closed
loop control of downhole temperature
is provided from the PCU.
