  • Publication number: 20240271625
    Abstract: Systems and methods provided herein relate to a well site or other plant. Systems and methods are employed to determine fouling and/or reduce maintenance and down time associated with equipment that is subject to fouling conditions due to their operating environments in some embodiments. Fouling can include but is not limited to scale formation due to mechanical, thermal, chemical or combinations of such phenomenon. These phenomenon are initiated and progressively exacerbated as the equipment interacts with gaseous, solids and/or liquids from the operating environment. The equipment includes stationary and rotary equipment including but not limited to pump systems, valves, piping, heat exchangers, and plumbing utilized to move fluid in a well in a subterranean environment.

  • Patent number: 9593565
    Abstract: Systems and methods for handling wellsite packets for a wellsite are provided. The wellsite packets include soluble packaging with wellsite materials therein. The wellsite has surface equipment and downhole equipment positioned about a wellbore. The handling system includes at least one feeder, at least one mixer, at least one metering device, and a pump. The feeder moves the wellsite packets directly or indirectly into the mixer. The mixer stimulates dissolution of the soluble packaging so as to mix the wellsite materials with a fluid to form a wellsite mixture. The metering device selectively controls the number of wellsite packets moving to the mixer. The pump is operatively coupled to the mixer to pump the wellsite mixture at the wellsite.
