Uses for Mega Prizma Hot Oil Units

The main use of a Hot Oil Unit is to heat & pump fluidsinto the well to remove wax built up on the productiontubing.

Pumping hot fluids through coil tubing to clean outhydrates or waxed off production tubing, or by pumping

through the coil tubing for well stimulation.

Hot fluid is often pumped through tubulars to clean themprior to a work-over.

Clean out wax and other material in pipelines. Pumping of flow line pigs & pipeline testing equipment

(smart pigs), also for pressure testing of pipelines.

Hot fluids are circulated to thaw ice or coagulatedmaterial in cold climates.

Hot fluids are used to pump through manifolding to cleanout obstructions & restrictive materials in piping or toclean out facilities prior to a turn around inspection.

Refineries often use Hot Oil Units to clean out lines,circulate tanks and re-boilers, and to treat de-ethylene &distillation towers.

Hot Oil Units are used around rigs to preheat tanks,transfer, and pump out fluids.


7/346


Hydro-blasting and jetting for cleaning facility tanks & rig

tanks.

Pre-heating treatment fluids for well stimulation services

such as fracturing & cementing operations.

With the utilization of mixing equipment, the pumps on a

Hot Oil unit can be used to mix a variety of chemicals to

premix or mix on the fly during well stimulation or

treatment.

Equipment Description - Heater

The Heaters on the Mega Prizma Hot Oil Units are 1,465 kW (5,000,000 BTU)

output, with a heating efficiency rating of 85%.

The flow through the 3 heater coils

can be changed from series to

parallel to change maximum flow

rates from 350 L/min in series to

450 L/min in parallel.

This allows the heater output to be geared tospecific flow & temperature requirements. In

series, the output temperature is increased as

the flow decreases. The opposite is true for

the parallel flow.


10/349

Equipment Description - Heater Safety

Control & Safety Equipment on the heater has been designed to prevent

overheating of the fluid. The Mega Prizma Hot Oil Units are equippedwith a Kimray Thermostatic Controller which cuts off the fuel supply to

the heater in the event of overheating of the fluid.

This Kimray thermostat is calibrated

before each heating job and set at the

clients requested maximum workingtemperature. If the heater output

temperature increases above the set

point, the thermostat signals the fuel

system master valve to cut fuel supply

to the heater and extinguish the burner.

Adjusted 5 to 7 degrees above average

requested working temperature or at 80% of

fluid flash point. It can also be used as

thermostat when heating non-flammable fluids

Equipment Description - Fire Safety

With the safe operation of any equipment, the worst case scenario

must be predicted and an action plan to resolve every possiblesituation. For this reason all of Mega Prizmas Equipment are

equipped with a Fire Suppression systems. In case of a fire, the Mega

Prizma Hot Oil Unit, has specific two fire extinguisher systems.

First there is a 150 Lb., ABC, wheeled fire extinguisher

that is unloaded by a winch and moved 10 meters fromthe unit before each job. This extinguisher is designed

to control a fire outside the heater.

12/3411

Equipment Description - Fire Safety

The second fire extinguisher is a 15 Liter

CO2 extinguisher. This extinguisher isdesigned to control a fire inside the

heater. In the unlikely even that a heater

coil leaks flammable fluid into burner,

this extinguisher will help to contain &

quench the fire before it can spread.

13/3412

Equipment Description - Pumps

There are three pumps on the Mega

Prizma Hot Oil Units. Each pump can

be operated separately or in

conjunction with the other 2 pumps

simultaneously.

The Roper Load / Unload Pump

The Mission Circulation Pump

And the SPM TriplexPressure Pump


14/3413


The Roper Pump is a hydraulically driven, variable speedpump, with a maximum output of 625 L/min. Mostly, thispump is used to load & un-load the unit tanks or to transferfluids.

The pump is self priming

and able to draw fluids froma source below the level ofthe pump. This is helpfulwhen transferring fluid frommud pits or fresh water from

ground sources.

Another function of the Roper pump is to act as a back uppump should the Centrifugal pump fail during heatingoperations.


15/3414


The Mission pump is a 3X 4X 13centrifugalpump. This

pump is driven with a variable speed hydraulic system andits main purpose is to supply fluid circulation for the heater& supercharge the suction of the triplex.

The second use of this

pump is to transfer fluid tothe unit tanks or betweenclient tanks when needed.

At 2 m/min, the Missionmakes short work of large

volumes of fluid to betransferred.


16/3415


The SPM Model TWS600S triplex pump is 450 kW (600HHP) intermittent duty, and 260 kW (350 HHP) continuousduty.

The maximum pressure

rating of this pump is 15,000psi. With our standardplunger size of 3-1/2 thepressure rating is 10,000psi. The Mega Prizma Hot

Oil Units can changeplunger sizes from 2-1/2 to4-1/2 for different flow &pressure ratings.


17/3416

Equipment Description - Relief Valve

As with any pump, there needs to a Safety First system.

The Mega Prizma Hot Oil units are equipped with a pressurerelief valve located directly after the pump. This valvedumps safely to the unit tanks.

This SPM Safety Relief valveis adjustable from 100 psi to

15,000 psi. This valve isadjusted appropriately beforeeach pumping job & tested toprotect the unit, the clientsequipment, and the personnel

working on location.

18/3417

Equipment Description - Tanks

The Hot Oil Units are equipped with 4 separate tanks. Eachtank is gauged for fluid level by a mechanical float & pointer.The tops of tanks can allow for top loading of fluids.

The first 2 tanks are the main fluidtanks. Each tank has a capacity of

4 m .

The 3rd, Methanol or Chemical Tank,on the unit is used to store flushingfluids to keep the unit from freezing in

the winter. The capacity of this tank is1.4 m.

The rear most tank is the heater fuel tank & has a capacityof 2.2 m of diesel. This enables the unit to heat aroundthe clock, at maximum output, for 24 hours.

Work Done in Kazakhstan - Heating

We have heated fluids for many different clients. We have

expanded the parameters of heating beyond themanufacturers expectations and have created newmilestones for Hot Oil Units.

Heating of Well Treatment Mix Fluids

In October of 2005 the unit was called for our first job forthe Hot Oil Unit as an independent department. The unitspent the next six months heating more than 100,000 mof water & diesel fuel for fracturing campaigns in the

Aktobe region and at KPO in Aksai.

Since that time the unit has heated fluids that werepumped ourselves for Lancaster Petroleum, AralPetroleum Capital, Sun Drilling, Oil Techno-Group, andMaersk Oil.


24/34

23


Heating of rig Tanks

In the Fall of 2006 the unit was called upon by Lancaster

Petroleum to heat drilling fluid tanks. The unit first heated

water in the rig tanks before the drilling fluid was

prepared. We then were asked to heat through thesteam lines with hot water to keep the drilling fluids from

freezing.

On numerous occasions since that time, the units has

been asked to heat mix waters for drilling rigs & to keepthe tanks warm in cold winter months, when the rigs

steam system was not working.


25/34

24


Hot Oil Well Treatments

From the 19th of August to the 15th of November in

2006 the unit completed 78 hot oil treatments for

KKMOC (Lancaster Petroleum) in their Kumsai and

Kokzhide fields. Most of the treatments were directly toremove wax from the production tubing, but many of

the treatments were the first steps in the CHOPS

system to increase the oil production of heavy oils in

high water and high sand producing wells.


26/34

25

Work Done in Kazakhstan - Pumping

Since the fall of 2005, our unit has been called to pump

many different types of fluids. Though these units are

basically designed to pump water and hydrocarbons, we

have proven that the units have pumping abilities far

beyond the normal Hot Oil Unit.

The fact that we have used an oilfield pump with a much higher

Hydraulic Horse Power (HHp)rating than a normal Hot Oil Unit,has truly been an asset.


27/34

26


Pumping of Hydrocarbons

We have pumped such hydrocarbons as crude oil, diesel fuel,xylene, gasoline, condensate, and produced sales oil. In mostcases this has been for well stimulation, but in some cases tocirculate the wells. We are often asked to pump these fluidsbecause of ability to coupe with the pressures and precise volume

measurements needed & because we have our own tanks.

Pumping Drilling Fluids

We have often been asked to pump drilling fluids into a well tocirculate out heavy fluids out. Due to the high differential pressuresin wells of 4,000 to 7,000 meters, most rig pumps and Soviet pumptrucks, can not deal with the prolonged high pressure pumpingrequired to circulate drilling fluids to water.


28/34

27


Pumping Services for Coil Tubing

In December of 2006, Aral Petroleum Capital asked that Hot Oil

Unit to supply heating and pumping services to BJ ServicesCoil

Tubing unit. The unit was able to heat on the fly while pumping at

various rates to clean powdered Asphaltines. Our unit provided 4

months of pumping services without any down time to the

operation.

Leak-off Testing

Due to our cost effect services, our unit has preformed many

pressure tests and leak off tests after our competitors have

finished cementing operations.


29/34

28


Injectivity Testing

Our unit has performed injectivity tests on many wells.The Mega Prizma Hot Oil unit is well adapted for thiswork with our wide range of pumping rates and preciseflow metering.

Pumping Acid & Chemicals

Our Hot Oil Unit has been tasked with providingeconomical acid & chemical pumping services on manyoccasions. The unit has mixed & pumped hydrochloricacid in volumes in excess of 100 m up to 20%solutions. We have also pumped a variety of chemicalsonce each chemical's compatibility has beenestablished.

Cement Plug Placement for Plug & Abandonment

In October of 2008 our unit had the opportunity to diversify our

services into a new area. Lancaster Petroleum made plans to plug

and abandon 3 wells in Kokzhide.

The unit was asked to supply pumping services to mix, accurately

pump, and displace 3 cement plugs in this 4600 meter well. The clientsupplied batch mix tanks for the cement and our Hot Oil unit batch

mixed and then pumped the slurry into the well precisely where

required.


31/34

30


For a continuous pumping of injection or water flood, the our Hot OilUnit supplied economical pumping services over the short term. The

unit can individually provided 285 available hydraulic horse power

(212 kW) for this type of long term pumping.

At Maersk Oil, one unit pumped 8 months, continuously, up to 700m/day at a pressure of 3,500 psi. We pumped more than 150,000 mduring this time.

Work Done in Kazakhstan - Low PressurePumping

Fluid Mixing

The Mega Prizma Hot Oil Unit can supply fluid flow to rig mixingsystems. We have also used our large unit tank hatches to allowsalts and other non-corrosive dry & liquid chemicals to be mixed inour tanks.

Fluid Transferring

In many cases, Mega Prizma has been asked to transfer fluidsfrom rig tanks or drilling rig mud pits. Because we are able to selfprime our suction manifolds with our Roper Pump, we are able tothrow a hose in the top of a tank and transfer fluids around the rigwhenever needed.

Fluid DisposalWe have been called many times to pump out flare pits, drillingfluid, and mud pits. Again, our Roper pump has come into play aswe are able to catch prime with the Roper pump, then switch to thecentrifugal pump on the fly to quickly pump fluids from pits totransport tank trucks.
