Embodiment Construction

[0029] The invention provides a steam generating device. The device comprises a fluid circulation tube comprising an electrically and thermally conductive material and at least one induction cable (or cables) made of an electrically conductive material wound around the tube. This arrangement improves steam generation.

[0030] The water circulation pipe allows water to circulate from the inlet of the pipe towards the outlet of the pipe. The tubes contain conductive material, such as steel. The tube may be made completely or partly of said electrically conductive (ie able to conduct electricity) thermally conductive (ie able to efficiently conduct heat) material. The induction cable is made of an electrically conductive material and is thus a cable, for example a cable made of copper. The sense cable can assume any form. For example, the induction cable may have a square cross-section. The cross section of the cable can be greater than 9mm 2 Preferably 36mm 2 and / or less...

Abstract

The invention relates to a steam generation device (10) and a method for generating steam using the device. The device comprises a fluid circulation pipe (12) containing electrically and thermally conductive material, and at least one inductive cable (14) made from an electrically conductive material wound around the pipe. The invention allows improved steam generation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to steam generation, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for generating steam. Background technique [0002] Steam generation can be used in various fields, especially in the case of hydrocarbon production. For example, the production of viscous oils, whether heavy or not, may require fluidizing the oil (ie reducing the viscosity of the oil) before the oil is pumped. This fluidization is even more useful for heavy oils (such as hydrocarbons like Canada or Venezuela) contained in sands such as tar sands. Typically, however, reduction in oil viscosity is obtained by providing thermal energy. For this, steam is usually injected into the reservoir. [0003] Various steam injection techniques (such as CSS, steam drive or SAGD) are used here. Steam generation is usually done at the surface by using special equipment or different types of generators. The steam is then transported into the reservoir by using pipe...
