Abstract: Methods, system and devices for deploying an MI cable heater down-hole into a hydrocarbon reservoir are provided, wherein one or more MI cables are housed inside a protective jacket, and connected to a pump-in device. The pump-in device allows the cable to be deployed by pumping fluid down-hole, and the pump-in device catches the fluid and pulls the cable down-hole, even in a horizontal well.

Abstract: This invention relates to a non-flange connector capable of fitting around a plastic liner and connecting two sections of pipe without the need for flanges.

Abstract: An expansion loop for an above-ground pipeline that utilizes cold bent pipe sections having a bend angle of less than 90 degrees and a bend rate (in degrees per foot) of relatively low severity.

Abstract: A system for measuring and monitoring multi-phase fluid production of a plurality of individual wells, each operating as part of a common production field. Upstream multi-phase flow measurements are simultaneously taken at each individual well. Downstream multi-phase flow measurements are taken at a point where the production from the entire field is combined. The downstream multi-phase flow measurement is allocated back to each individual well based on the measured upstream multi-phase flow for each individual well.

Abstract: A pipeline supported by a plurality of spaced, movable supports. The supports are not anchored but are movable with respect to the surface of the earth (e.g. tundra) thereby allowing the pipeline to move in response to temperature/pressure changes in said pipe. The supports are sized so that the pipeline will be elevated above the surface of the tundra at a height sufficient to allow water to flow under the pipeline as well as allowing small animals to pass thereunder. The movable supports may be either rolling supports which lie directly on the surface or sliding supports which are positioned on slidable stands or combination of both.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing (e.g. heavy oil) through a wellbore which passes through a permafrost layer. To maintain an acceptable flow temperature inside the production tubing, a heating element (e.g. electrical power cable having its leads short-circuited) is lowered down the production tubing to generate heat inside the tubing when electricity is supplied thereto. A sensor is provided to sense the temperature inside the tubing and activate a source to supply electricity to the cable whenever the temperature inside the production tubing drops below the desired temperature.
