The Jet Heat Advantage: A Game Changer in Oil & Gas Operations

The oil and gas industry is built on precision, reliability, and safety. Whether drilling a new well, completing a pipeline, or conducting a turnaround, every process must be executed to exact specifications. Yet one factor beyond your direct control can jeopardize it all: the environment.

Cold weather, condensation, and unpredictable site conditions can stall equipment, slow crews, and damage sensitive materials. In remote or hazardous locations, inadequate heat can turn a smooth operation into a costly, dangerous challenge. That’s where Jet Heat systems prove to be more than equipment—they’re a game-changing solution.

At REIC Specialty, we provide industry-leading Jet Heat flameless heating systems designed specifically for the extreme demands of oil and gas operations. These high-capacity units combine unmatched safety, efficiency, and performance to keep your project on track.

What Makes Jet Heat Systems Different?

Conventional temporary heaters often struggle to deliver consistent performance in oilfield environments. They’re fuel-hungry, create emissions, and require multiple units to match the output of one Jet Heat heater.

The Jet Heat advantage lies in its engineering:

Flameless Technology: Eliminates ignition risk—critical in flammable oil and gas environments.

Massive Heat Output: One unit can replace several conventional heaters, reducing clutter and simplifying logistics.

Superior Fuel Efficiency: Cuts heating costs by up to 65%, saving thousands of dollars in fuel per project.

Dry, Clean Air: Reduces condensation, prevents flash rust, and maintains breathable air quality.

Long Run Times: High-capacity fuel tanks enable more than 24 hours of continuous operation, minimizing refueling.

Remote Monitoring: Real-time oversight ensures consistent heat delivery and immediate response to changing site conditions.

The Consequences of Inadequate Heating in Oil & Gas

Failing to plan for proper heating in oilfield environments can create a cascade of preventable issues:

Equipment Failures – Frozen lines, brittle metals, and condensation in electrical systems can bring operations to a standstill.

Safety Risks – Cold stress, reduced dexterity, and hazardous air quality compromise worker safety.

Project Delays – Coatings may not cure, drilling fluids can thicken, and site access can become limited.

Material Waste – Adhesives, coatings, and sensitive components can degrade when stored in poor conditions.

Budget Overruns – Every unplanned delay drives up fuel, labor, and rental costs.

These risks are too significant for an industry where downtime can result in losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars each day.

Applications of Jet Heat Systems in Oil & Gas

REIC’s Jet Heat systems are versatile, high-capacity solutions designed to support all phases of oil and gas operations:

Drilling and Completion: Keep drilling fluids at the right viscosity and ensure equipment starts reliably in sub-zero conditions.

Wellhead and BOP Heating: Prevent freezing and maintain operational readiness for critical systems.

Pipeline Coating and Insulation: Create controlled environments for coating application and curing, even in harsh fall and winter conditions.

Maintenance and Turnarounds: Ensure productivity during planned outages with safe, breathable air for crews and equipment.

Vessel and Tower Work: Support surface prep, coating, and inspection with steady, dry heat.

Enclosed Space Heating: Deliver clean, breathable air in tanks, work tents, and modular units.

Ground Thawing: Prepare frozen terrain for excavation, pipeline installation, or foundation work.

The Jet Heat Advantage in Numbers

Fuel is the single most significant cost driver in temporary heating. Jet Heat systems dramatically reduce fuel consumption by design while delivering more heat output than multiple conventional units.

A single Jet Heat unit can often serve a project requiring four conventional heaters. Over a month, this can translate into tens of thousands of dollars saved in fuel costs, not to mention lower emissions and fewer site hazards.

Safety First: Why Flameless Heating Is Essential

Safety is non-negotiable in oil and gas operations. Traditional heaters with open flames introduce unnecessary risk in environments where combustible gases are present.

REIC’s Jet Heat units use flameless combustion technology, producing massive volumes of heated air without an exposed flame. This innovation not only improves safety but also provides clean, breathable air, an essential feature for enclosed workspaces and coating operations.
