Heating cable for extraction pipes of viscous hydrocarbons or paraffinic in conventional wells and type tight wells, vertical or directional, with flooded annular in casual or permanent form, suitable for use between low and high fluid pressures ranges
Abstract
A heating cable for an extraction pipe of viscous hydrocarbon or paraffinic in a well, the heating cable including a sleeve made of a flexible material, the sleeve has a perimeter, an internal cavity, and a continuous homogeneous length, the sleeve is free of perforations; electrically conductive conductors placed inside the sleeve, the electrically conductive conductors are parallel to each other and separate from each other by a space; a primary insulation layer independently wrapping each one of the electrically conductive conductors; a layer including of a single fluoropolymer material completely filling up the entire cavity of the sleeve and forming a solid structure that encases the electrically conductive conductors, the primary insulation layer, the entire space between the electrically conductive conductors, and the entire perimeter of the sleeve; a metallic shield surrounding the layer consisting of the single monolithic fluoropolymer material, the metallic shield has a shape of a ribbon; the heating cable is flat.
Claims
