ABSTRACT:
A heater cable is strapped alongside tubing in a well to heat the production fluids flowing through the tubing. The heater cable has three copper conductors surrounded by a thin electrical insulation layer. An extrusion of lead forms a protective layer over the insulation layers. The lead sheaths have flat sides which abut each other to increase heat transfer. A metal armor is wrapped around the lead sheaths of the three conductors in metal-to-metal contact. Three phase power is supplied to the conductors, causing heat to be generated which transmits through the lead sheaths and armor to the tubing.
