In the world of oil and gas, flow assurance solutions play a crucial role in ensuring the continuous flow of hydrocarbons from reservoirs to refineries. Unfortunately, paraffin wax, asphaltene, and mineral scale build-up can wreak havoc in pipelines, flow lines, and downhole tubulars. That's where we, at Ideal Energy Solutions LLC, come into the picture. We are dedicated to crafting cutting-edge flow assurance solutions for the oil and gas industry, with a line-up of Green Seal® Certified products: PipeRenew®, WellRenew®, and PigRenew®. All three of these products contain the exact same chemical composition, yet they are branded separately according to their specific application. These products have proven their mettle in the field, delivering impressive results.
PipeRenew®: Defying Temperature Constraints
Our flagship patented product is PipeRenew®, and when it comes to pipelines plagued by paraffin wax, asphaltenes, or mineral scale, whether fully blocked or experiencing partial deposition, PipeRenew® is the answer. This unique temperature-independent chemical solution can be applied to any flow line, even those operating at subsea temperatures, offering a high level of effectiveness and safety. Beyond its efficiency, PipeRenew® is also environmentally responsible, meeting the rigorous Green Seal® Certification standards. Through laboratory testing, we ensure precise calibration of concentration and application methods, as well as tailor our solution to any specific problems our customer is facing. The results are clear – significantly improved pipeline performance and uninterrupted production.
WellRenew®: Rescuing Downhole Tubulars
WellRenew®, is our unique remediation solution tailored to the challenges of downhole tubulars. WellRenew® relies on patented chemistry to effectively clear paraffin wax and asphaltene blockages within these tubulars. This product is also Green Seal® Certified and totally environmentally responsible. What sets it apart is its customization, ensuring optimal performance. We lab test to pinpoint the most effective application process, which can vary based on the characteristics of the crude or any other specific issue our customer is facing. Our meticulously implemented processes have resulted in proven success across a variety of applications, from stuck sucker rods to restricted perforations. WellRenew® is an all-encompassing solution, also promoting uninterrupted production.
PigRenew®: Unstickable Solution for Pipeline Blockages
As a dissolvable chemical pig with a dose of the same chemical composition as PipeRenew® and WellRenew®, PigRenew® is specifically designed as a solution for historically problematic pipelines requiring frequent pig runs with a history of traditional mechanical pigs becoming stuck in the pipeline. PigRenew® is effective in pipelines with paraffin or asphaltene deposition, working to spot our solution to perform its work at the point where deposition is encountered. If our PigRenew® polymer encounters blockage as it travels, it will dissolve in place and not become stuck. PigRenew® works to ensure continuous pipeline operations and significantly reduce future blockage risks. One of the many things that sets PigRenew® apart from mechanical pigs is its after-effect -- it leaves behind a micro-resistant film that acts not only as a paraffin and asphaltene inhibitor, but as a potent corrosion inhibitor as well, minimizing the potential for future deposits. Compared to traditional methods, PigRenew® excels in cleaning efficiency and maintaining flow, all while eliminating mechanical damage risks due to a stuck pig. Moreover, PigRenew® holds the prestigious Green Seal® Certification, bringing environmentally responsible practices to pipeline pigging. PigRenew® is the ideal solution for pipelines with recurring paraffin wax and asphaltene issues, providing superior performance and environmental responsibility.
At Ideal Energy Solutions LLC, we are revolutionizing the oil and gas industry with our unique line-up of flow assurance solutions - PipeRenew®, WellRenew®, and PigRenew®. These Green Seal® Certified products are not just environmentally responsible, but also bring a new level of effectiveness to the industry. From tackling blockage or deposition in pipelines with PipeRenew®, clearing blockages in downhole tubulars with WellRenew®, to maintaining a problematic pipeline with PigRenew®, these solutions have proven their worth in the field. Harness the power of our patented green chemistry and see the results for yourself: uninterrupted production, improved operational efficiency, and a greener future for the oil and gas industry.
Case Study 1: 2 Days To Full Communication on 2-inch St. Landry Parish Pipeline
A 1,500-foot thermoplastic pipeline in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana lost communication. Ideal Energy Solutions determined the line was approximately 25% plugged. To clear the blockage, the IES team administered a total of 14 bbls of 6% PipeRenew® in the 2-inch line. Full communication was established in 48 hours and an additional 7 bbls of 2% PipeRenew® were pumped to flush the line free of paraffin solids after the plug broke free. Read More
Case Study 2: Historically Troubled Subsea Pipeline in Gulf Of Mexico Troubled No More
A troubled subsea pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico was struggling with severe recurring paraffin and tar deposition problems, leading to repeated blockages and frequent remediation attempts. Following several failed remediations including hot-tap flushes, coiled tubing, chemicals, and biocides, the line was scheduled for abandonment. That’s when IES was brought in. Our patented PipeRenew® chemistry was applied, and within 5 hours of pumping, partial communication was established. After 75 hours of pumping, full communication was reestablished. Read More
Case Study 3: Full Restoration of Dead Eagle Ford Pipeline
A 4-inch, 6,000 ft oil pipeline in Westhoff, Texas, part of the Eagle Ford | Beveren Pipeline ConocoPhillips, had lost communication for over a month due to severe paraffin wax plugging. Despite several attempts by field operations personnel and the use of chemicals provided by a competing service provider, communication could not be re-established. In just 11 days, PipeRenew® restored the dead pipeline to full flow, demonstrating its effectiveness in dealing with severe pipeline blockages. Read More
These case studies demonstrate how our patented green chemistry can effectively address common challenges in the oil and gas industry, leading to increased production and cost savings. We are excited about the potential of this technology and look forward to seeing it applied in more production systems, anywhere from the reservoir to the refinery, around the world.
