  • METHOD FOR COUNTING RESTRICTIONS IN A SUBTERRANEAN WELLBORE
    Publication number: 20240295166
    Abstract: A tool counts the number of radial restrictions or seats in a series of frac valves along a completion string. At a pre-selected count, the tool radially expands a landing mechanism and lands on the next-reached frac valve.
    Type: Application

  • System and method for handling pumping units in out-of-balance condition
    Patent number: 10546159
    Abstract: A system and method handles one or more pumping units in an out-of-balance condition. Sensing equipment monitors operating parameters related to balance of each of the one or more pumping units. Processing equipment determines the out-of-balance condition in at least one of the one or more pumping units based on the monitored operating parameters. A first correction to a counterbalance parameter of the at least one pumping unit can be calculated, such as a new position or weight of the counterbalance, so the out-of-balance condition can be corrected by implementing the new position or weight at the at least one pumping unit. A second correction to a stroke parameter of the at least one pumping unit can be calculated, such as a new stroke rate or pattern, so operation of the pumping unit can be maintained despite the out-of-balance condition.
