▸ ENGINEERED FOR THE FIELD ◂
Every component of the Vance Petroleum Boiler Truck is selected and tested for extreme oilfield conditions — delivering performance, safety and longevity far beyond standard industrial boilers.
Automatic fully premix diesel burner with multi-stage combustion control. Delivers up to 3,000,000 kcal/h thermal output with class-leading fuel efficiency, minimizing operational costs on long-duration jobs.
Siemens or Mitsubishi PLC-based automation manages all burner, pump, and valve operations. Real-time parameter display, automatic fault diagnosis, and remote monitoring capability reduce operator intervention and prevent accidents before they occur.
All electrical components comply with Zone 1 / Zone 2 ATEX explosion-proof standards. Integrated pressure relief valves, flame-out protection, over-temperature shutdown, and triple-redundant safety interlocks protect both personnel and equipment.
Generates dry saturated or superheated steam up to 350°C at working pressures reaching 1.6 MPa. Ideal for heavy oil thermal recovery, pipeline dewaxing, wellhead heating, and equipment steaming.
Mounted on SINOTRUK HOWO / Dongfeng 6×4 or 8×4 heavy-duty chassis with reinforced suspension and high ground clearance. Fully self-contained and road-legal for rapid deployment across remote oilfield sites without additional transport equipment.
Pre-heating and self-priming systems allow start-up in ambient temperatures as low as -40°C. Arctic-grade insulation on all pipework and tank systems ensures consistent performance in extreme cold environments without pre-heat delays common in competitor units.
Optional skid-mounted configuration available for fixed-site or offshore installations. All major components — boiler drum, burner assembly, control panel, fuel tank — are modular and field-serviceable, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
Designed for 72-hour continuous operation without maintenance interruption. Onboard fuel tanks hold up to 2,000L with auxiliary tank options available. Automatic blowdown and water treatment systems maintain boiler water quality throughout extended operations.
Standard configuration burns light diesel. Optional burner upgrades support heavy fuel oil, crude oil, natural gas, and LPG — providing flexibility to use available on-site energy sources and further reduce operating costs in remote locations.

▸ WHERE IT WORKS ◂
The VP-BT Series is deployed globally across upstream and midstream oil and gas operations — wherever reliable high-temperature steam is required in remote or hazardous environments.
Steam injection into heavy oil and bitumen reservoirs dramatically reduces viscosity, enabling economic production from fields that conventional methods cannot unlock. The VP-BT delivers sustained high-pressure steam for Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), Steam Flooding, and SAGD operations.
Paraffin and asphaltene deposits block flow lines and tubing, causing costly production shutdowns. High-temperature steam from the VP-BT rapidly dissolves and flushes wax deposits across gathering lines, trunk lines, and wellbore tubing without chemical intervention.
In cold-climate oilfields, wellhead freeze-up and equipment icing can halt production entirely. The VP-BT provides targeted steam heat to Christmas trees, choke manifolds, separators, tanks, and pump jacks — restoring production quickly and preventing freeze damage.
Storage tanks accumulate heavy sludge that reduces capacity and creates safety hazards. Steam injection softens and mobilizes bottom sediment for efficient removal, reducing tank cleaning time by up to 60% versus cold mechanical methods and eliminating solvent usage.
▸ PROVEN IN THE FIELD ◂
VP-BT Series units are currently active across six continents, operating in some of the world's most demanding oilfield environments — from Arctic tundra to equatorial jungle and high-altitude plateau.
