Methods, system and devices for deploying an MI cable heater down-hole into a hydrocarbon reservoir are provided, wherein one or more MI cables are housed inside a protective jacket, and connected to a pump-in device. The pump-in device allows the cable to be deployed by pumping fluid down-hole, and the pump-in device catches the fluid and pulls the cable down-hole, even in a horizontal well.

Deploying mineral insulated cable down-hole

A method and system for insulating wells using dual concentric vacuum insulated tubing layers with joints staggered with respect to one another. The method can be combined with other insulating methods, and well as with other subsidence mitigation techniques.

Dual vacuum insulated tubing well design

A canopy for truck and trailer loads in which a cover of a sheet of flexible water resistant material is supported by a plurality of inverted U-shaped members pivoted on opposite sides of the load by support members attached to the bed of the truck, trailer or pallet. The U-shaped members and the flexible sheet fold downwardly at one end of the load, thus fully exposing the load, and unfold over the load with the two end U-shaped members in substantially horizontal position extending oppositely from one another and the other U-shaped members being spaced from the end members and from each other throughout the distance between the two end members. A flexible strap interconnects most of the U-shaped members to assist in obtaining the desired spacing of the members in the unfolded position. The lower edges of the cover are secured to the bed or pallet when the canopy is in its unfolded position to hold the cover firmly over the load while it is being hauled by the truck or trailer. The cover is secured only to that U-shaped member which is uppermost when the cover is folded.
