Compressor application

coiled tube drilling

Coiled tubing drilling technology can be used to rehabilitate oil wells. A pipe with "soap" is drilled to about 1,000 meters below the bottom of the oil well. Soap is mixed with high-pressure air or nitrogen to fluidize the bottom of the well. Reavell compressors are commonly used in this operation and models may vary depending on the flow and pressure requirements of the well.

The compressor is usually installed as part of a complete unit on the back of a flatbed truck so that the unit can be easily moved to different locations in the oil field.

Blower and vacuum applications

Extract cleaning liquid

In refinery ancillary service equipment/processes, centrifugal pumps are used for liquid handling, cleaning and extraction.

Sand oil field extraction

The water-sand mixture used in the crude oil extraction process is drawn through a pressurized water injection method using a positive displacement fan operating under vacuum.
