  • Patent number: 10619471
    Abstract: A method for remotely controlling services to a well during hydraulic fracturing operations includes generating a high pressure fluid and pumping the high pressure fluid into a subterranean geologic formation through a wellbore of a first well, the high pressure fluid being provided at a sufficient pressure to fracture the subterranean geologic formation. The method also includes performing a service on a second well, the second well being located within a pressure zone defined around the first well and the second well. The method further includes controlling the performance of the service from a remote operations hub.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190292891
    Abstract: A method for remotely controlling services to a well during hydraulic fracturing operations includes the steps of (a) generating a high pressure fluid and pumping the high pressure fluid into a subterranean geologic formation through a wellbore of a first well, the high pressure fluid being provided at a sufficient pressure to fracture the subterranean geologic formation: (b) performing a service on a second well, the second well being located within a pressure zone defined around the first well and the second well; and (c) controlling the performance of the service from a remote operations hub. Step (a) and step (b) are performed simultaneously and step (c) is performed from the remote operations hub located outside of the pressure zone.

  • Patent number: 10260327
    Abstract: A method for remotely controlling services to a well during hydraulic fracturing operations includes generating a high pressure fluid. The high pressure fluid is pumped into a subterranean geologic formation through a wellbore of a first well at a pressure to fracture the subterranean geologic formation. The method also includes performing a service on a second well that is located within a pressure zone defined around the first well and the second well. The method further includes controlling the performance of the service from a remote operations hub located outside of the pressure zone. The pumping into the first well may be performed simultaneously with the service on the second well.
