Patent number: 12065906Abstract: A system may include a connector coupled to a wellhead assembly. The system may also include a hydraulic power unit coupled to the connector and a valve of the wellhead assembly. The system may further include a controller in communication with the connector and the hydraulic power unit. The controller may be operable to receive one or more conditions associated with the connector and a valve of the wellhead assembly. The controller may also be operable to operate at least one of the connector and the valve through the hydraulic power unit based on the one or more condition.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2023Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: FMC Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Rajeev Pillai, Richard Bridwell, Thiago Machado, Hosameldin Abouelhassan, Kirul Patel

Publication number: 20240240549Abstract: A system may include a built hydraulic fracturing system with a plurality of devices connected together and a simulation of the built hydraulic fracturing system on a software application. Additionally, a fracturing plan may be provided on the software application to include pre-made instructions to perform multiple processes in a hydraulic fracturing operation such as a sequence of valve operations to direct fluid flow through a selected path. Further, the fracturing plan may be modified to create a customized fracturing plan including the pre-made instructions and at least one modified instruction. Furthermore, the customized fracturing plan may be executed to perform at least one of the processes in the built hydraulic fracturing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2024Publication date: July 18, 2024Applicant: FMC Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Zachary Curry, Andrew Cappello, Thiago Machado, James Cook, Sobitha Gunatilleke, Rajeev Pillai, Hernan Anzola, Nathanial Ramsey, Clay Dixon, Gabriel Tiviroli-Melchert

Patent number: 11549330Abstract: A valve block may be assembled, in a controlled environment, a valve block to be modular and purpose built for a specific application. The specific application may be an operation to be performed at a well site. The modular purpose built valve block may be function tested, in the controlled environment. Additionally, the modular purpose built valve block may be pre-packaged, in the controlled environment, to have a digital system to operate and automate the modular purpose built valve block. Further, the modular pre-packaged purpose built valve block may be deployed to the well site, and the modular pre-packaged purpose built valve block may be fluidly coupled to a wellhead. The modular pre-packaged purpose built valve block may be operated to perform the operation at the well site.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: FMC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: James Cook, Gareth Boyd, Julian Keihany, Thiago Machado
