Bringing the heat….…. in a whole new way.

Diamond Petroleum Ventures was founded by oilfield innovators with deep roots in coiled tubing and other well intervention services with the intent of providing state-of-the-art solutions for paraffin removal in offshore applications.

Paraffin Remediation Solutions

Chemical Treatments using aromatic hydrocarbons such as Xylene

Mechanical Interventions using Wireline, Coiled Tubing or Hydraulic Workover

Heated Fluids

All of these solutions have had varying levels of success, but industry experience shows that the use of heat, by itself or in conjunction with other methods, greatly increases success rates in paraffin removal.

Hot Oil UnitsThe use of heated fluids has been a universally accepted method of treating paraffin as can be evidenced by the widespread use of Hot Oil Units in the industry since the late ’40’s or early ’50’s.

….but the existent technology presented serious issues:

Diamond has developed a unique new technology for offshore thermal fluid applications that has a design based on friction instead of heat exchange:

The heating mechanism is mechanical and completely flameless

These units are the only Class 1 Division 2 compliant thermal units in the industry

The units are very efficient and have a small footprint, so they are ideal for offshore use.

Fluid temperatures are easily and completely controlled

The TH450

Heats 100 barrels of diesel 100 degrees over ambient in 80 minutes. (1.25 bbls./min.)

Weight: 13,800 pounds.

Dimensions: L=10’, W=8’, H=8’6”

The Diamond units are compact, self contained, diesel driven units with redundant fluid transfer pumps.

The TH650

Heats 120 barrels of diesel 100 degrees over ambient in 60 minutes. (2.0 bbls./min.)

Weight: 16,500 pounds.

Dimensions: L=12’, W=8’, H=8’6”

Diamond provides thermal fluid pumping services for flushing and bull-heading, as well as support for wireline, coiled tubing and hydraulic workover operations in wellbores and pipelines for the following operations:

Pipeline clean out

Wellbore Tubing clean out

Paraffin and Asphaltine removal

Melting hydrate plugs

Vessel clean out

Refinery and plant turnaround

Pipeline Interventions

Coiled Tubing Support

Multifunctional Advanced Remediation Tool

DPV supported Coil Tubing operations using the MARS tool to unplug a 10 mile 6” pipeline. The line was washed in one continuous run to 23,000’, setting a world record and restoring flow for 1,000 BOPD.

Coiled Tubing Support

EEL REEL

DPV supported CETCO EEL REEL operations to unplug a 10 mile 6” pipeline. The line was washed to 25,000’, breaking our previous world record and restoring flow for 3,500 BOPD.

Fieldwood Energy Main Pass 310A

Hydraulic W/O Support

ISS Hydraulic Workover

DPV supported ISS HWO on operations to unplug 19,000’ 6” flexible flowline in deep-water operations. Heat was used to remove the plug at 9,500’, completing the project well under AFE and projected timeline.

Murphy Oil Medusa SS#5

Hot Fluid Flush

DPV positioned heating equipment at each end of a 9,000’ subsea flowline that was experiencing restricted flow and was inaccessible to mechanical remediation. Alternating the flow direction of the heated diesel, the line was cleared restoring full flow and eliminating backpressure on the existing wells.

Wellbore Interventions

Bullheading / Soaking

In some cases where blockage was limited or tight restrictions existed on available space, DPV has successfully restored well flow by injecting heated diesel and other fluids down the tubing, permitting the solution to soak, and flowing back the well to flush the tubing.

Coiled Tubing Support

When wireline and pumping methods were not adequate (such as complete blockage of the tubing) and in cases where space and weight have not been a barrier, DPV has successfully supported wellbore cleanouts using Coiled Tubing.

And now….

…. Diamond turns up the heat!

Introducing “Flo-Jet”

…. DPV’s Wireline Deployed Wellbore Jetting Tool

Patent Pending

is a multifunctional tool, deployed by heavy 5/16” wireline, that exceeds the cleaning capacity of chemical treatments and wireline, without resorting to coiled tubing or hydraulic work-over.

Flo-Jet

Deck Space Issues?

Limited Crane Capacity?

Budgetary Constraints?Electrical Code / Placement Issues?

Wellbore cleanouts at controlled wireline speeds, removing paraffin, asphaltines and other debris from production tubing.

Dislodging obstacles stuck in wellbore, operating sliding sleeves, etc.

Running calipers, gyros, or memory tools

Paraffin solvents, crystal modifiers, friction reducers, and gel sweeps designed for an oil base environment and high temperatures.

Flo-Jet Applications

The Thruster provides jet action ahead of Flo-Jet tool, assuring the tubing is cleaned to the wall.

Jet action creates turbulence for blasting deposits loose and fluid agitation for chemical effectiveness.

Flo-Jet deploys through low

profile nipples and across gas lift mandrels.

Smaller footprint than CT, more cost effective.

Heavy wire for strong, secure retrieval and fishing operations.
