Filed:

Nov 13, 2020

Appl. No.:

17/097100

Inventors:

- Houston TX, US
Bryan Scott Lambert - The Woodlands TX, US

International Classification:

E21B 43/26
B01F 15/04

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention include a blending system that delivers granular material directly from designated storage containers into a blender based on the liquid flow rate into the blender and the blender slurry flow rate exiting the blender. The blending system utilizes a blender controller system in communication with a blender slurry flow meter, a blender liquid flow meter, a conveyor load cell, a conveyor motor, and a conveyor speed sensor, wherein the blender control system is configured to regulate the amount of granular material entering the hopper based on the entrance rate of liquid into the blender and the exit rate of the fracturing fluid slurry from the blender.

Assignee:

Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX

International Classification:

F16L 55/055
G05D 16/20
E21B 43/267
E21B 43/26

Abstract:

An accumulator assembly for a pump system at a well site is arranged to fluidically connect to a flow line between a blender and a fracturing pump of the pump system. The accumulator assembly includes a pressurizable tank configured to contain pressurized fluid; and, a control valve fluidically connected between a discharge end of the tank and the flow line. The control valve opens and fluidically connects the tank to the flow line when a pressure on the flow line is less than a target pressure, and the control valve closes and fluidically blocks communication between the tank and the flow line when the pressure on the flow line is greater than or substantially same as the target pressure.

International Classification:

C09K 8/68
B01F 3/12

US Classification:

507219, 422292

Abstract:

A hydration system configured to selectively enable a continuous process or a batch process of an additive for a hydraulic fracturing fluid, the hydration system including a hydration tank having a plurality of compartments, wherein the hydration tank is configured to enable movement of a material through the plurality of compartments in the continuous process. The hydration tank is configured to substantially restrict movement of the material between the plurality of compartments in the batch process. Also included is a method of selectively hydrating an additive in a batch process or a continuous process using a hydration system configured to enable both the batch process and the continuous process,
