A modular skid-based system to provide treatment or competition operations at a well includes a main skid configured to be positioned on a trailer or ground in proximity to the well. A first modular skid is positioned on the main skid and includes a first primary system and a first support system. A second modular skid is positioned on the main skid and includes a second primary system and a second support system. At least one of the second primary system and the second support system is coupled to at least one of the first primary system and the first support system. The first modular skid, the first primary system and the first support system are removable as a whole from the main skid without removing the second modular skid, the second primary system or the second support system.

Modular skid-based system and method to provide treatment or completion operations at a well

Provided are methods and systems for delivering a treatment fluid to a wellsite. An example method includes receiving a container containing a treatment fluid component from a treatment fluid component supplier. The method further includes introducing the treatment fluid component into a wellbore from the container by pumping the treatment fluid component out of the container and into the wellbore. The treatment fluid component is not transferred to another container during the receiving or the introducing.

Storage, transport, and delivery of well treatments

A pumping system pumps material or fluid downhole, for example, to perform a stimulation operation. The pumping system can include a hydraulic pump coupled to an intensifier. The intensifier may have a piston which allows for a small footprint as compared to an intensifier with a plunger. The hydraulic cylinder of the intensifier may be protected from the corrosive, erosive and/or abrasive effects of the material or fluid to be pumped by one or more seals. Using the intensifier that includes a piston may provide for a greater reliability of the overall pumping system, as fewer strokes are required, and a compact pumping system, as the stroke length of the intensifier with a piston is less than the stroke length required for a plunger.

Compact high pressure, high life intensifier pump system

Systems and methods for using one or more pre-filled, portable containers, instead of pneumatic transfer, to move bulk material from a transportation unit to a blender receptacle of a blender are provided. A transportation unit may deliver one or more containers of bulk material to the well site, where the containers may be disposed in an elevated position around the blender receptacle. A gravity feed outlet may extend from one or more containers to route bulk material from the one or more containers directly into the blender receptacle. Since the transportation unit is able to unload the portable containers of bulk material without pneumatic transfer, the stackable containers may enable a cleaner and more efficient bulk material transfer at the site.

Container bulk material delivery system

A valve guide for a fracturing pump valve assembly, the valve guide include a ring member having one or more blades. The one or more blades project inward from an annular ring of the ring member, a first side of the one or more blades defining a central space of the ring member, the central space configured to contain a cross-sectional portion of a valve post of the valve assembly therein and the first side extending parallel to a long axis length of the valve post. Valve assemblies and hydraulic fracturing systems including the valve guide are also disclosed.

Pump valve guide for hydraulic fracturing

Methods for operating a decoupled long stroke pump to pump treatment fluid to a wellbore are provided. The decoupled long stroke pump has relatively long stroke plungers that can be powered by hydraulics, linear electric motors, mechanical long stroke mechanisms, linear actuators, or any other device that can provide a linear force to the plungers. Such long stroke pumps have the suction and discharge strokes decoupled such that an absolute linear flow rate without pressure pulses on the suction or discharge can be produced. Any desired flow profile of the treatment fluid can be produced via the decoupled long stroke pump.

Decoupled long stroke pump

A water treatment apparatus, system and method including introducing an aqueous fluid into a chamber, the aqueous fluid having a pH below 7 and having an oxidizing agent. Contacting, within the chamber, the aqueous fluid with a corrodible sacrificial material which oxidizes in the presence of the oxidizing agent also reducing the oxidizing agent. Thereafter, adjusting, subsequent contacting the corroding particulate, the pH of the aqueous fluid to above 7.

Water treatment for removing oxidation agents

Various embodiments include methods and apparatus structured to pump material, where such material is difficult to pump. In an embodiment, an apparatus can include an injector device capable of self-injecting material into a high pressure line. The apparatus may include multiple valves to control recharge of material into the injector device and to control reinjection of the material into the high pressure line. In an embodiment at a well site, a portion of fluid being injected into a wellbore can be diverted from one or more high pressure pumps to an injector device, where the diverted portion of the fluid can be used to power the injector device to inject material from a mixing tank to add material to the wellbore in addition to the non-diverted portion of the fluid injected into the wellbore. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods can be implemented in a variety of applications.

Systems and methods to pump difficult-to-pump substances

A pumping module is positionable within a pump housing for pumping fluid into a wellbore. The pumping module includes a cylindrical housing with an inlet end and an outlet end, an inlet cap positioned on the inlet end of the cylindrical housing and including an inlet formed through the inlet cap, and an outlet cap positioned on the outlet end of the cylindrical housing and including an outlet formed through the outlet cap. A shaft is rotatable with respect to the cylindrical housing, and a rotor is positioned within the cylindrical housing and rotatable by the shaft to push fluid through the cylindrical housing.

Modular pumping system

An apparatus comprises a circuitry and an acoustic-capture tile having a surface that is to face an acoustic source that is to emit a first acoustic wave having a first frequency and a second acoustic wave having a second frequency. The acoustic-capture tile comprises a first acoustic-capture subtile electrically coupled to the circuitry, the first acoustic-capture subtile to resonate at the first frequency, wherein the first acoustic-capture subtile is to capture the first acoustic wave and to convert the first acoustic wave into a first electric current in response to resonance at the first frequency. The acoustic-capture tile also comprises a second acoustic-capture subtile electrically coupled to the circuitry, the second acoustic-capture subtile to resonate at the second frequency, wherein the second acoustic-capture subtile is to capture the second acoustic wave and to convert the second acoustic wave into a second electric current in response to resonance at the second frequency.

Acoustic noise reduction and energy generation barrier

An injection pumping system is used to generate pressure pulses in a wellbore to create pressure spikes for stimulation treatment of the wellbore. An initial pressure pulse is generated with a known travel time from the surface to a termination point and back to a specified location within the wellbore. A subsequent pressure pulse with a known travel time from the surface to the specified location can be generated to collide with the initial pressure pulse at the specified location. Knowing the speed of sound throughout the wellbore allows for an accurate calculation of the required travel times for each of the pressure pulses. Multiple sections of the wellbore can be treated preferentially and independently without requiring multiple runs of a perforating tool as the pressure pulses can be manipulated to collide at different locations throughout the wellbore based on the known travel times.

Stimulation treatment using accurate collision timing of pressure pulses or waves

Certain conditions require powering down an engine driving a pump. During the down sequence the pump may continue pumping servicing fluid which may not be desirable. Activating one or more control valves may throttle or prevent the servicing fluid from being pumped from the pump during the power down sequence. Activation of an input control valve may introduce pressurized fluid into a cylinder of the pump extending a rod to force or maintain a suction valve in an open position. While the suction valve is in the open position, the stroke of the plunger may not create enough pressure to pump the servicing fluid causing the servicing fluid to flow between a fluid header and a chamber of the pump. Activation of an output control valve may divert servicing fluid pumped from the pump to a reservoir instead of to the desired location.

Controlled stop for a pump

A site may require that multiple containers, such as bulk material containers, may be utilized to provide a required composition or mixture of materials at a required discharge rate. An arrangement of four or more containers on a frame disposed on a support platform where two faces of each container proximate or adjacent to a face of two other containers to form a rectangle provides a configuration that allows for safe and efficient removal and replacement of containers A rotary table coupled to a motor disposed on the support platform rotates the frame such that each container transitions to different positions. The containers discharge material through an opening of support platform. Containers may be retrieved from one position and replaced at another position or retrieved and replaced from a single position. Such a configuration allows for multiple transport devices to operate without interfering with the operations of each other.

Loading and unloading of material containers

A fluid injection system for injecting a particulate in a fluid, including a high-pressure pump operable to output the fluid from an outlet flow channel and a reservoir configured to hold the particulate. The system also includes a valve assembly in fluid communication with the reservoir and the outlet flow channel of the pump, the valve assembly operable to discharge the particulate into a fluid stream output by the pump while the reservoir is sealed from the outlet flow channel of the pump.

Injection valve for injecting randomly sized and shaped items into high pressure lines

An intensifier pump includes a piston including at least two selectable piston diameters. Additionally, the intensifier pump includes a plunger that in operation interacts with the piston. The plunger includes a plunger diameter that is smaller than each of the at least two selectable piston diameters.
