Jet Pump Solution for Wells with Paraffin
Paraffin is a wax formed in a wellbore from saturated hydrocarbons. This wax is typically in solution with oil, but if the oil cools to a certain temperature, referred to as the “cloud point”, the paraffins crystallize, solidify, and coalesce to any structure possible. This wax buildup can interfere with downhole components, as well as reduce the flow area of tubulars and reduce efficiency or stop production altogether. (Similar to clogged arteries in the human vascular system).
In operation, hydraulic jet pumps generate heat as power fluid exits the nozzle. This level of heat typically keeps the produced fluid temperature above the cloud point of the paraffins, restricting the formation of wax buildup in the well. When heat generated from the jet pump is not warm enough to keep paraffin from building up, power fluid can be heated, prior to being pumped downhole, to keep the wellbore warm enough so the wax does not build up.
Power fluid can also be used as a vehicle for solvents to keep this paraffin wax from accumulating.
Reduce Costs and Increase Oil and Gas Well Production
JJ Tech employs a combination of patented technologies to provide a tailored artificial lift solution designed to improve production and significantly lower overall operating costs over the life of your high solids or sand-producing wells.
SELECT-JET Pumps
Our unique design and manufacturing process results in best-in-class, efficient lift performance. Operators have the flexibility to place it in the well where all other forms of artificial lift can’t operate.
Hydra-Cell Pro Diaphragm Pumps
The seal-less, packing-free design ensures a reliable, efficient way to power the JJ Tech jet pump.
Hydraulic Jet Pump Design & Optimization App
Using the actual surface and subsurface data from your oil or gas well, our Hydraulic Jet Pump Design & Optimization App lets you plot current jet pump performance and optimize for the future. Our app ensures the downhole jet pump is operating as efficiently as possible, thus maximizing overall production levels.
Jet Pump Advantages
Greater Reliability
With no moving parts, JJ Tech jet jumps produce wells with sand or solids with far less damage potential to the downhole pump. If, over time, jet pump parts do become worn, a workover rig is not needed for replacement.
Reduced Workover Costs
With a JJ Tech jet pump, three- to five-year run times between workovers is not uncommon. Our jet pump systems also allow for chemical treatment for tubing and casing on a continual basis.
Increased Production
A JJ Tech jet pump can also provide increased production when other forms of lift are unable to provide the desired drawdown on a producing formation.
