Publication number: 20140238683Abstract: An apparatus includes a frame structure and one or more fracking fluid tanks carried by the frame structure. The one or more fracking fluid tanks arranged to contain a fracking fluid usable during a fracking procedure. One or more fracking pumps may be carried by the frame structure, the one or more fracking pumps being configured to pump the fracking fluid to a wellhead of a wellbore at high pressure. An integrated piping system connects with the one or more fracking pumps to carry fracking fluid that was contained in the one or more fracking fluid tanks toward the one or more fracking pumps. Mobility-enabling structure supports the frame structure, the one or more fracking fluid tanks, the one or more fracking pumps, and the integrated piping system, the mobility enabling-structure being configured to enable conveyance of the apparatus to a fracking site.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2014Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: Nabors Alaska Drilling, Inc.Inventors: Donovan M. Korach, Zachary T. Huff

Patent number: 7798237Abstract: An enclosed coiled tubing apparatus which includes a mobile trailer and a coiled tubing unit releasable coupled thereto, and a enclosure to maintain an adequate temperature, where the coiled tubing unit includes a coiled tubing injector postionally fixed relative to a coiled tubing reel so as to move together relative to the trailer as an integral unit. The coiled tubing reel and injector may travel laterally on the trailer on a track. Also included are methods of extending a wellbore in a subterranean formation by: translating a coiled tubing unit within an enclosure to a first position and then inserting a bottom hole assembly (BHA) into the wellbore using a lifting system, and wherein the coiled tubing unit includes coiled tubing; and translating the coiled tubing unit to a second position and then coupling the coiled tubing to the BHA and operating the BHA to extend the wellbore.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Nabors Alaska Drilling, Inc.Inventors: Donovan Korach, Drew Byers
