    摘要: Disclosed is a spirally heating submarine pipeline including: a conduit which transports a high temperature high pressure fluid from a submarine oil well; and a heating unit disposed in a spiral structure inside based on an outer circumferential surface of the conduit. The heating unit includes an electric heating wire that is installed along the spiral structure to generate heat; a heat insulator that is installed in the form of fully surrounding the electric heating wire and preserves the generated heat; and a heat insulating cap for isolating the heat insulator from the conduit or the heat insulating layer and is provided so as to increase the temperature of the flow in the pipe to prevent the production of a pipe flow interfering material when the fluid is transported in the conduit.

    摘要: System and methods for heating boreholes include laser generators to trigger a chemical reaction to break down heavy hydrocarbons in boreholes. The systems and methods use arrays of laser generators at the borehole surface or within the borehole to heat the heavy hydrocarbons. The systems and methods may include hydrocarbon sensors within the borehole to detect gas seepage resulting from heating of the heavy hydrocarbons.

    摘要: A system comprises a casing and a liner. The liner is concentric with the casing and the casing is disposed in a borehole. A layer of material disposed between the liner and the casing. The layer of material forms a first bond with the liner and a second bond with a metal alloy disposed on an inner surface of the casing thereby enabling hanging the liner from the casing. The layer of material is an expandable metal disposed upon a tapered surface of the liner. The layer of material contacts the metal alloy along a circumferential surface of the layer of material. The layer of material comprises a product of an exothermic reaction package; where a product is produced by an exothermic reaction of a metal with a metal alloy.

    摘要: An assembly includes a photovoltaic cell, an electric heater, and a heat conductor. The photovoltaic cell is configured to convert solar energy into electric power. The electric heater is connected to the photovoltaic cell. The electric heater is configured to generate heat in response to receiving electric power from the photovoltaic cell. The heat conductor is connected to the electric heater. The heat conductor is configured to conduct heat generated by the electric heater to a tubular positioned within a wellbore formed in a subterranean formation.
