Thermal Insulation

Oil and gas industry pipes are often filled with fluids from fresh water, salt water, oil, and natural gas liquids, to other chemicals used for hydrocarbon production. 

When the temperature approaches the freezing point, liquids increases in viscosity thus slowing down their movement, which leads to increased transportation expenses. 

What is more, some liquids expand upon freezing, which can cause a variety of problems, ranging from simply compromising the integrity of the pipe, hoses, and fixtures, all the way up to bursting at its weakest point which causes some other further consequences. Thus shutting down the weel site and causing a loss of production.

This loss of production from a poorly insulated well site can be financially devastating for the owner. Not only does this disrupt their work schedule but it also impacts revenue and profits as they are unable to sell any gas or oil that might have been produced at such an inefficient rate due in part because there was so much wasted while trying unsuccessfully to fix these problems with insulation!
