  • DIRECT FEED PROPPANT SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240271515
    Abstract: A proppant supply system can include a fluid supply system including a blender configured to receive and mix liquid and proppant to form a proppant slurry. and an electrically driven conveyor configured and arranged for direct and metered delivery of proppant to the blender. The proppant supply system can include a proppant source configured to discharge proppant to the conveyor. and a control system for controlling a speed of the conveyor, to control a rate at which proppant is delivered to the blender.

  • Controlling the flow of fluid to high pressure pumps
    Patent number: 11702916
    Abstract: A hydraulic fracturing system can include valve apparatuses that control the delivery of fluid to high-pressure pumps that supply the fluid to a wellhead. The valve apparatuses can receive electronic signals from a control system to regulate the flow rate of the fluid to the high-pressure pumps. In one or more examples, the flow rate of the fluid can be controlled such that proppant in the fluid remains in solution.
