How is formation damage caused by hot oiling?
Formation damage caused by hot oiling is related to the physical characteristics of the oil used, the source of the oil, the formation temperature, and the hot-oil process. Potential problems are discussed and suggestions made tomore » minimize or to eliminate them.
What should the temperature of an oil sample be?
Maintain surface temperature on a hot plate of 300°F (135°C). Violently agitate oil sample (such as in a paint shaker) to achieve homogenous suspension of water in oil. Using a clean dropper, place a drop of oil on the hot plate.
What’s the best way to get oil to hold water?
Violently agitate oil sample (such as in a paint shaker) to achieve homogenous suspension of water in oil. Using a clean dropper, place a drop of oil on the hot plate. If no crackling or vapor bubbles are produced after a few seconds, no free or emulsified water is present.

[When my hot water heater failed the tank didn’t fail. Something else failed allowing it to dump water from the line side and heating OIL into my basement.
How is heat transferred in a hot oil system?
A simplified schematic of major components of a hot oil system is given in Fig. 1. The heat transfer medium is pumped through a fired heater to the heat exchanger and returns to the pump suction surge tank. In some cases a fired heater may be replaced by a waste heat source, such as the exhaust stack of a gas turbine.
