occur without adversely affecting gas flow particularly condensation in a cloudy state with small droplets the amount of heat needs to be only enough to prevent the development of a large pressure gradient in the gas flow stream due to condensation droplets eliminating condensate that causes frictional losses allows the pressure to remain higher increasing the rate of production increasing the temperature far above the necessary level to avoid losses would not be economical because it requires additional energy to create without reducing the detrimental pressure gradient an adequate amount of heat has been found to be enough to create a temperature in tubing annulus 65 that is about 60 to 150 degrees f above the temperature in the well the water and hydrocarbon vapors that remain in the gas will be separated from the gas at the surface by conventional separation equipment the invention has significant advantages the insulated conductors are installed in a continuous process while the coiled tubing is being formed this avoids the need for pulling electrical cable through preformed tubing by utilizing stainless steel the conventional annealing step required for coiled tubing is omitted which otherwise would result in temperatures that would be too high for the electrical cable to withstand the coiled tubing has a smooth outer diameter for sealing with conventional coiled tubing injector equipment since the cable does not need internal supports for transferring weight of the insulated conductors to the coiled tubing the outer diameter may be quite small this provides a greater flow area in the production tubing for the production fluids as well as making sealing on the outer diameter of the cable easier evacuating the tubing annulus reduces loss from the production tubing installing the heater cable in a live.
