ABSTRACT:
A self treating paraffin removing mechanism utilizing existing above ground equipment. The above ground equipment utilized is a heater treater normally employed at the typical well for separating oil from water and wastes. As desired, the operator, utilizing this invention, can direct heated oil from the heater treater to the well head annulus and then down hole and back up through the well string so that paraffin and other wastes are removed from the interior of the well piping. The oil and waste are then passed to the heater treater in the normal manner and the operation can be repeated as often as necessary or as desired. As a result, no costly insulation of the entire well string nor costly utilization of heater oil trucks is needed and an inexpensive flexible alternative is provided.
