  • Patent number: 7703518
    Abstract: A portable well treating fluid mixing system includes: a supply tank having an inlet receiving pneumatically conveyed dry treating material; a cyclone separator having an inlet coupled to the supply tank and receiving dust laden air from the supply tank, and having a first outlet venting clean air and having a second outlet venting solids; a collection container having a first inlet coupled to the cyclone separator second outlet and receiving solids from the cyclone separator and having an outlet; and, a pump having an inlet coupled to the collection container outlet and a pump outlet coupled to the supply tank. In operation, the system continuously conveys dust from the collection container back into the supply tank to maintain the separator in proper operating condition and minimizes venting of dust during the transfer of material to the supply tank.

  • Publication number: 20070215354
    Abstract: Methods comprising: providing at least a plurality of liquid hardenable resin coated particulates that have been at least partially coated with a liquid hardenable resin component; providing at least a plurality of liquid hardening agent coated particulates that have been at least partially coated with a liquid hardening agent component; suspending the liquid hardenable resin coated particulates and the liquid hardening agent coated particulates in a treatment fluid; and placing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation. Methods comprising: providing at least a plurality of coated particulates that have been at least partially coated with one component of a two component resin system; coating at least a plurality of the coated particulates on a job site with a second component of a two component resin system; suspending the coated particulates in a treatment fluid; and placing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation.

  • Publication number: 20070137862
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to well servicing operations, and, more particularly, to devices, systems and methods useful in stimulation blending for fluids, mixtures, and/or slurries used in well servicing operations. A device, system and/or method is provided comprising a suction centrifugal pump capable of receiving an inlet fluid and providing a suction pressure arranged to substantially minimize a geyser effect in a proppant inlet and a mixer capable of receiving the inlet fluid provided by the suction centrifugal pump and mixing the inlet fluid with a proppant received from the proppant inlet, the mixer arranged to be substantially optimized for mixing. The device, system and/or method also comprises a discharge centrifugal pump capable of receiving the inlet fluid mixed with the proppant from the mixer and discharging the inlet fluid mixed with the proppant from the mixer downhole, the discharge centrifugal pump arranged to be substantially optimized for pumping.

  • Publication number: 20060028914
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for hydrating a gel for treating a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The method includes directing a base fluid through an inlet into a mixer having an inner chamber housing a plurality of impellors extending radially from and rotating about a hub, causing a centrifugal motion of the base fluid, feeding a quantity of gel into the mixer, mixing the gel with the base fluid and discharging the now-hydrated gel from the inner chamber through an outlet of the mixer. A prewetting device may also be used. Thereafter, a variety of additives may be added to the gel fluid mix to form a fluid treatment to be introduced into a subterranean formation.
