摘要

Wood Group, the international energy services company, has launched a new hydrate liquefying tool to melt ice and paraffin blockages that occur in the production pipes of oil & gas wells. The Thermal Moderator Tool (TMT), developed by Wood Group Logging Services, can be used in pipes with inside diameters as small as one inch. The tool, which is rated to 15,000 PSI of pressure, can be dispatched anywhere in the world and was recently dispatched to offshore West Africa where it was used to clear a blocked well.
