Global Localization
Proprietary industrial systems with support for regional assembly and international deployment.
ThermoSonic™ technology is designed for international industrial deployment with support for local assembly, regional participation and localization initiatives.
Oman Industrial Localization & Deployment
Regional assembly and field implementation aligned with In-Country Value initiatives.
Project Overview
ThermoSonic™ systems were deployed in Oman (2023-2025) as part of an international industrial localization initiative associated with:
- In-Country Value (ICV)
- Made in Oman
The project included:
- engineering manufacturing of core systems (September 2023 - Janury 2024);
- international logistics (December 2023 - March 2024);
- regional assembly in Oman (15 March - 15 April 2024);
- field deployment on operational oilfield infrastructure (February - March 2025).

OPERATIONAL RESULTS
Successful deployment of ThermoSonic™ systems on heavy-oil flowlines in southern Oman.
- Reduction of flowline backpressure by 20–45%, improving flow stability under winter operating conditions.
- Restoration of continuous production in previously non-flowing wells affected by high oil viscosity during cold periods.
- Up to 35% production increase observed after ThermoSonic™ deployment and well optimization.
- Stable operation achieved while maintaining external flowline temperatures below 65°C, protecting plastic-lined infrastructure.
- Lower energy consumption compared to conventional thermal methods, without chemical injection or invasive pipeline modification.
