Abstract: A portable storage unit for storing fluid, particulates, or combinations thereof, wherein the portable storage unit can have a trailer with a frame. An outer container can be connected to the frame, and can have a first storage cavity with an outlet. A gate can provide for selective opening and closing of the outlet. An inner container can be movably disposed within the outer container, and can have a second storage cavity. The second storage cavity can be in selective fluid communication with the first storage cavity. At least a partial seal can be formed between the inner container and outer container. A hydraulic cylinder can be connected to the inner container and outer container for moving the inner container relative to the outer container, allowing for an adjustable volumetric capacity of the first storage cavity.

Abstract: A data collection station with movable second floor walls adjacent stationary first floor walls, wherein the data collection station can have climate control equipment and various devices for data collection while allowing three hundred degree viewing from a load bearing second floor.

Abstract: A hydro-blender for mixing base fluids and particulates for use in pumping can include a transport device. The hydro-blender can also include a liquid tank connected with the transport device. An inlet manifold can be located within the liquid tank for receiving fluid from one or more fluid sources. The inlet manifold can be in fluid communication with one or more fluid sources. The hydro-blender can also include a mixing tub in communication with one or more hoppers via one or more augurs.
