  • Patent number: 12607184
    Abstract: Some implementations include a system comprising a first tubular fluidically connected with one or more frac pumps and one or more first flow control devices that are fluidically connected to a second tubular that is fluidically connected to a wellhead. The system also may include a third tubular fluidically connected with the first tubular and one or more second flow control devices that are connected with a fourth tubular that is fluidically independent of the wellhead.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240368974
    Abstract: A blender power unit (BPU) for use in fracturing jobs. The BPU comprises a transformer having an input and an output and configured to receive electrical power via the input at a first voltage to output electrical power via the output at a second voltage; a motor power bus coupled to the output of the transformer; a motor starter bus; at least one motor soft starter having an input coupled to the motor power bus and having an coupled to the motor starter bus; a plurality of electric power relays coupled to the motor power bus and configured to supply electric power from the motor power bus to a load when in a closed state; and a plurality of start electric power relays coupled to the motor starter bus and configured to supply electric power from the motor starter bus to a load when in a closed state.
