  • Patent number: 12258956
    Abstract: A system can include one or more processors; memory; a data interface that receives data; a control interface that transmits control signals for control of pumps of a hydraulic fracturing operation; and one or more components that can include one or more of a modeling component that predicts pressure in a well fluidly coupled to at least one of the pumps, a pumping rate adjustment component that generates a pumping rate control signal for transmission via the control interface, a capacity component that estimates a real-time pumping capacity for each individual pump, and a control component that, for a target pumping rate for the pumps during the hydraulic fracturing operation, generates at least one of engine throttle and transmission gear settings for each of the individual pumps using an estimated real-time pumping capacity for each individual pump where the settings are transmissible via the control interface.

  • Publication number: 20130265853
    Abstract: A data collection system that is operable to read out seismic data collected at wireless acquisition modules in response to source events such that the progression of subsequent source events occurs prior to the complete data record for a prior source event being collected at a data collection unit. The system may include mechanisms by which the source event progression is only interrupted based on a detected potential for loss of data integrity.
