Steam Generators range from 25 BHP to 750 BHP. Packages up to 1500 BHP.

Design pressures up to 3000 psi (200 bar).




Few environments place greater demands on men and machinery than offshore oil rigs.  The weather is often harsh.  The work is demanding.  Space is at a premium.  And dependability is highly prized.

Small wonder that more and more petroleum and oil exploration companies call for Clayton steam generators on their offshore oil rigs.  These multi-purpose generators, available in a wide range of capacities, perform numerous important functions:

  • Heating work floors
  • Desalinization
  • Heating rooms
  • Heating drilling fluid
  • De-icing
  • Cooking
  • General clean-up

But, Clayton steam generators, used by major industries around the globe, are valued on offshore rigs for more than versatility.  Compared with conventional steam boilers, Clayton steam generators are notable for their compact size, light weight, low emissions and absence of explosion hazard.  They are prized for their reliability, fuel economy, fully automatic PLC based control, plus the ability to start-up and follow load cycles quickly.










Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using Thermal technology is the most widely employed EOR method.  The two main methods for Thermal EOR (TEOR), cyclic and steam flood, have the greatest certainty of success and potential application in about 70% of enhanced oil recovery worldwide.  Thermal methods also give the highest recoveries at the lowest costs.

The Clayton TEOR Steam Generator is a complete, self-contained, automatic generating unit ready for operation when connected to the heating system, fuel and power supply.  The basic design is a once through, forced circulation, spirally wound smooth tube heat exchanger.  The Clayton design offers significant fuel savings and size/weight advantages.  The Clayton design is inherently safe, with no possibility of a hazardous steam explosion.

Specifically tailored to oil field thermal recovery specifications, the Clayton TEOR Steam Generator is truly a portable heater.  The compact design allows the unit to be skid mounted, trailer mounted or containerized.  This portability means that they are versatile and adaptable to a variety of field conditions and applications. 

The Clayton TEOR Steam Generator delivers more usable BTUs to the formation at a considerably lower cost than any combination of available components.
