Understanding Hot Oiler Units and Their Use Cases

Hot oilers play a key role in maintenance and flow assurance on oil wells.  Whether working alongside workover rigs—also known as service rigs or pulling rigs—or performing standalone tasks, these units are indispensable when their job is required.

Primary Use Cases:

• Paraffin Removal: The most common use is to dissolve paraffin wax, a common problem in many oil and gas wells.

• Scale Removal: Hot oiling can also help to dissolve certain types of mineral scale that may form in the well.

• Stimulation: In some cases, hot oiling can be used as a mild form of well stimulation to improve production.

• De-icing: In colder climates, hot oilers can be used to thaw frozen wellheads and pipelines.

Hot oilers are versatile oilfield equipment units that enhance the wells efficiency. View available models at Rigmax today.
