Abstract

A system and method for delivering heat to a fluid in a fluid production pipeline. Particles are injected into a line adjacent the fluid production pipeline. The particles include a microencapsulated liquid exothermic phase change material configured to undergo a phase change by solidification and release heat at a selected temperature. The released heat is transferred to the fluid production pipeline.
