Boiler Truck | Oilfield Boiler Unit

A boiler truck brings a mobile steam or hot-water package to well servicing, pipeline heating and heavy-oil operations. Vance configures the boiler, burner, fluid system, controls and chassis around the required thermal duty, fuel availability, climate and destination rules.

Maintaining consistent wellbore temperature and ensuring reliable thermal energy supply are critical to sustained production in cold-climate and heavy-oil oilfields. The VANCE Boiler Truck — a fully mobile Oilfield Boiler Unit — is designed to deliver high-output steam or hot oil heating directly to the wellsite, eliminating the need for fixed heating infrastructure in remote or temporary field locations. As a purpose-built hot oil boiler truck, it integrates a high-efficiency industrial boiler, insulated storage tank, and a robust vehicle chassis into a single deployable unit. This oilfield heating truck is widely used for wellhead heating, pipeline thawing, steam injection stimulation, and process fluid preheating across oilfields in Russia, Kazakhstan, Iraq, Sudan, and beyond. VANCE boiler trucks are engineered for continuous operation under extreme ambient temperatures, offering operators a dependable, cost-effective solution for mobile thermal energy supply in the most demanding field environments.

Key Features

• High-efficiency industrial fire-tube or water-tube boiler core with rapid steam generation and stable output pressure.
• Diesel, natural gas, or dual-fuel burner options available to match local fuel availability and operational cost targets.
• Boiler thermal capacity ranges from 400 kW to over 700 kW, suitable for single-well treatment or multi-point pipeline heating.
• Fully insulated boiler body and pipework minimize heat loss during transport and prolonged field standby periods.
• Integrated PLC-based automatic control system monitors temperature, pressure, water level, and flame status in real time.
• Safety protection suite includes automatic pressure relief valve, flame-out protection, dry-fire prevention, and overpressure cutoff.
• Large-capacity water or oil storage tank (4–12 m³) ensures extended autonomous operation between resupply intervals.
• Heavy-duty chassis options (SINOTRUK, SHACMAN, Dongfeng, FAW) with 4×2, 6×4, or 8×4 drive configurations for diverse road and terrain conditions.
• Arctic-grade cold-weather package available, including engine block heater, insulated cab, and low-temperature hydraulic fluid for operation down to −40°C.
• Compliant with ASME, GB/T, and SY/T boiler pressure vessel standards; third-party inspection and CE documentation supported for export projects.
