Abstract: A choke for fluid connection between a manifold and a pump. The choke includes a fluid passage having an inlet, a contraction portion, a throat, an expansion portion, and an outlet. The inlet has a first diameter and the outlet has a second diameter. The throat is substantially cylindrical, having a third diameter that is substantially less than the first and second diameters. The contraction portion connects the inlet and the throat and gradually decreases from the first diameter to the third diameter along a longitudinal axis of the fluid passage. The expansion portion connects the throat and the outlet and includes a substantially cylindrical chamber having the second diameter.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed prove a method for improving power usage for an oilfield operation. The method includes analyzing power usage for the oilfield operation, mapping power consumption for the oilfield operation; mapping power utilization for the oilfield operation; and improving power utilization for the oilfield operation.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for energizing well operations fluids, including a fluid energizing device directly or operatively connected between first and second conduits. The fluid energizing device includes a chamber. A first fluid enters the chamber from the first conduit, and a second fluid enters the chamber from the second conduit and energizes the first fluid within the chamber. A third conduit conducts the energized first fluid from the chamber to a wellhead.

Abstract: The present disclosure introduces apparatuses and methods for assessing health of oilfield pumping equipment. An example pump assembly health monitoring system receives angular position data, including angular positions associated with operation of the pump assembly, and parameter data, including values of a parameter associated with the pump assembly that fluctuates with the angular positions. The monitoring system determines a cepstrum of the parameter data with respect to the angular position data, and determines a ratio of a first amplitude of the cepstrum at a quefrency of about zero to a second amplitude of the cepstrum at a non-zero quefrency. The determined ratio is indicative of a health of a component of the pump assembly.

Abstract: A centralized power system including at least one engine having a plurality of discharge connectors; a plurality of articulating power connectors, each articulating power connector comprising a first end connected to a corresponding discharge connector, and a second end connectable to at least one piece of oilfield equipment thereby supplying power from the at least one engine to the oilfield equipment.

Abstract: The present disclosure introduces apparatus and methods for identifying discrepancies of oilfield wellsite equipment relative to computer-generated models. A captured image of a component of a physical object is obtained. A planar model image of the component is obtained employing a preexisting, three-dimensional (3-D), computer-generated model. A difference between the captured image and the planar model image is identified with respect to a point of interest of the component. A discrepancy report is produced for the difference.
