  • Publication number: 20240035342
    Abstract: A modular skid-based system to provide treatment or competition operations at a well includes a main skid configured to be positioned on a trailer or ground in proximity to the well. A first modular skid is positioned on the main skid and includes a first primary system and a first support system. A second modular skid is positioned on the main skid and includes a second primary system and a second support system. At least one of the second primary system and the second support system is coupled to at least one of the first primary system and the first support system.

  • Patent number: 11813562
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and system for extracting carbon dioxide from an exhaust gas. The method includes lowering a temperature of an exhaust gas using a heat exchanger, lowering a concentration of a particulate matter within the lowered temperature exhaust gas, and passing the lowered particulate concentration and lowered temperature exhaust gas through one or more membrane modules to produce a membrane module permeate flow that contains a higher concentration of carbon dioxide compared to a concentration of carbon dioxide in the lowered particulate concentration and lowered temperature exhaust gas. Further, the system includes a heat exchanger fluidly coupled to a particulate filter that is configured to lower a concentration of the particulate matter within the exhaust gas, and one or more membrane modules fluidly coupled to the particulate filter and configured to produce the membrane module permeate flow.

  • Publication number: 20230279758
    Abstract: The disclosure presents systems and methods for hot swapping pumps at a wellsite while minimizing the impact to the pumping operations. As one pump is swapped out, such as for maintenance, the remaining pumps in the set of pumps at the wellsite can continue pumping operations. In some aspects, the swapping of pumps can be performed by a user using a protection barrier to isolate the pump location where the pumps will be swapped. In some aspects, one or more of the steps to swap pumps can be performed through automation thereby minimizing danger to a user. In some aspects, the pump being located at the pump system can be primed and pressure tested prior to be located to improve the time to enable the pump for pumping operations.

  • Publication number: 20230279759
    Abstract: The disclosure presents systems and methods for hot swapping pumps at a wellsite while minimizing the impact to the pumping operations. As one pump is swapped out, such as for maintenance, the remaining pumps in the set of pumps at the wellsite can continue pumping operations. In some aspects, the pumps can be arranged around a central open area where the manifold pipes are located on the outside perimeter. This arrangement allows for a pump moving apparatus to remove and locate pumps at various positions around the perimeter while minimizing movement and minimizing the time the pump moving apparatus spends off of matting. The pump moving apparatus can be shielded with a protective barrier to protect the equipment or user from discharges from other pumps that are under high pressure.

  • Publication number: 20230012856
    Abstract: The disclosure provides for a wellbore servicing system that comprises an engine operable to provide power to one or more pumps. The one or more pumps are operable to direct a fluid into a wellbore, wherein the engine is coupled to the one or more pumps via a transmission. The system further comprises an engine control module (ECM) coupled to the engine. The system further comprises a controller coupled to the one or more pumps and operable to determine the volumetric efficiency of each of the one or more pumps. The system further comprises an information handling system, wherein the ECM and the controller are communicatively coupled to the information handling system, wherein the information handling system is operable to determine a divergence when a load is placed on the engine and a pumping plan for the system.

  • Patent number: 11164560
    Abstract: A positionable exhaust apparatus with an exhaust outlet having a first bore extending along a length of the exhaust outlet. The first bore having a longitudinal axis extending the length thereof and an exhaust outlet tip coupled to the exhaust outlet. The exhaust outlet tip having a second bore with at least a portion of the second bore substantially aligned with the first bore of the exhaust outlet. An actuator coupled with the exhaust outlet and the exhaust outlet tip with at least a portion of the exhaust outlet tip to rotate the exhaust outlet tip relative to the exhaust outlet.

  • Patent number: 10948472
    Abstract: Undetected emissions may damage devices at a work site and pose a safety hazard to the surrounding environment. A method of control based on predictive emissions detection is disclosed. The method uses sensors coupled to work site equipment to identify devices and regions of a work site that may be affected by adverse conditions. Detection of such emissions may allow the system or operator to shut down or otherwise act on equipment before any harm is done to the device or personnel in the area.

  • Publication number: 20190277295
    Abstract: A single power source multiple pump system that includes a single power source driving a first pump and a second pump connected in series may provide for increased efficiencies for one or more operations of a well stimulation and servicing environment. Powering multiple pumps with a single source reduces consumption of resources while still providing the necessary power requirements. Pumps may be powered up or on in sequence so as not to exceed the power limits of the single power source. The multiple pumps may be connected in series with a gearbox to provide another arrangement or configuration. The one or more pumps down line from a pump may be disconnected when no longer in use.
