  • Patent number: 11408262
    Abstract: A mobile fracking pump trailer 100 includes a gas turbine engine 102 and fracking pump 104, and torque converter 114 that fluidly couples the gas turbine engine 102 to the fracking pump 104. The mobile fracking pump trailer 100 further includes a first reduction gearing 118 connected between the gas turbine engine 102 and the torque converter 114 and a first power takeoff 120 connected to first reduction gearing 118. An electrical machine 128 is connected to the first power takeoff 120 for selectively starting the gas turbine engine 102 and generating electrical power to power the mobile fracking pump trailer 100 after the gas turbine engine 102 has been started.

  • Patent number: 10794166
    Abstract: A hydraulic fracturing system that includes a fixed-speed gas turbine assembly having a gas generator and power turbine, both mounted to a semi-trailer. The system further includes a hydraulic pump mounted to the semi-trailer and connected to an output shaft of the power turbine and a hydraulically-driven fracturing fluid pump mounted to the semi-trailer and being in fluid communication with the hydraulic pump, the hydraulic pump supplying fluid pressure to the hydraulically-driven fracturing fluid pump. The system is configured such that the hydraulically-driven fracturing fluid pump receives fracturing fluid containing chemicals and proppants and pressurizes the fracturing fluid to a pressure sufficient for injection into a wellbore to support a hydraulic fracturing operation.
