  • ELECTROSTATIC PARTICULATE COATING METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FRACTURING FLUIDS
    Publication number: 20150158038
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for making up fracturing fluid with coated proppant. The apparatus applies opposed electrical charges to the proppant and its coating to create a uniform coating without extensive mechanical mixing, and additionally, the apparatus applies opposed electrical charges to the coated proppant and fracturing fluid to enhance mixing.
    Type: Application

  • High pressure manifold trailer and methods and systems employing the same
    Publication number: 20110272158
    Abstract: A method of servicing a subterranean formation with a servicing fluid, the method comprising providing a first component of the servicing fluid to a first high-pressure pump at a first pressure, providing a second component of the servicing fluid to a second high-pressure pump at a second pressure, increasing the pressure of the first component of the servicing fluid at the first high-pressure pump to a third pressure, wherein the third pressure is greater than the first pressure, increasing the pressure of the second component of the servicing fluid at the second high-pressure pump to a fourth pressure, wherein the fourth pressure is greater than the second pressure, communicating the first component of the servicing fluid to a high-pressure manifold, communicating the second component of the servicing fluid to the high-pressure manifold, communicating the first component of the servicing fluid from a first high-pressure manifold outlet to a wellhead located at a wellbore, communicating the second component
