More than 90% of the energy consumption of oil and gas production operations is concentrated in these three systems, among which the energy consumption of the gathering and transportation system accounts for 60% of the energy consumption of oil and gas production operations, and is the main direction of energy conservation and carbon reduction. The heating method adopted by oil fields in the process of crude oil gathering and transportation is usually mainly to collect oil by mixing with hot water. Its main purpose is to mix the heated hot water back into the wellhead produced fluid to meet the temperature required by the gathering and transportation process.
