Camp Rubiales in Puerto Gaitan
Fiberglass is present in the thermal insulation applications of the main heavy crude oil field in Colombia, Campo Rubiales
Heavy crude oil needs to be mixed with steam to reduce the viscosity, so that it can be extracted and pumped. Steam is injected into the well and mixed with oil, until achieving a temperature of 65 ° C. From there, the oil is transported in pipes to filtering and cleaning facilities where it is separated from impurities and water. The insulation maintains the temperature of the oil and steam mixture, providing energy savings and reducing the number of pumping stations required in the pipelines.
The customer thought was very satisfied: excellent products with high quality specifications, fast response to product needs in big quantities and very good continuous on-site technical support.
