Induction Heating in Oil & Gas Industry
The Oil and Gas industry has traditionally used induction heating equipment for many processes related to drilling, pipeline installation or repair, and processing of biofuels.
A widely used application in the oil industry is heat treating of drilling tools and rig shafts, brazing, and de-brazing of carbides on drilling tools, and many more.
How Induction Heating is used in the Oil and Gas Industry?
- Drilling tools – brazing and removing of carbide inserts
- Oil and gas pipelines – adhesive curing and coating repair of steel pipes
- Induction heating for pipe bending or forming
- Heat treating and hardening of shafts and pipe ends
- Induction preheating for welding of steel pipes on rigs and pipelines
- Pre-heating before welding and stress relieving of welds on oil tanks or rig structures
- Susceptor heating for processing of biomass for biofuel production
