When conventional pressure control equipment fails to function or the integrity of equipment is in question, temporary pressure control can be established with HSE's Freeze Service. This process involves creating an ice plug to serve as a barrier or a means of primary pressure control to facilitate repairs or modifications to equipment.
With the use of dry ice and a water / gel mixture, the procedure requires no kill fluids and is non-threatening to fluid-sensitive formations.
Applications for this unique process include:
Valve change-outs
Wellhead replacements
Pipeline repairs
HSE Integrated's freeze equipment, which is currently located in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, has a maximum working pressure of 35 mPa (5000 psi) and will accommodate any size pipe. Our equipment is designed to operate in the extreme Canadian winter. Our staff are trained internally through a formal process and supervised through a quality control program to ensure safety performance and customer satisfaction.
