Description
- The present invention relates generally to oilfield operations, and more particularly to methods and apparatuses for storing materials on a well site.
- Oil field operations are conducted in a variety of different locations and involve a number of equipments, depending on the operations at hand. The requisite materials for the different operations are often hauled to and stored at the well site where the operations are to be performed.
- Considering the number of equipments necessary for performing oil field operations and ground conditions at different oil field locations, space availability is often a constraint. Currently, the materials necessary for performing oil field operations are often stored in storage bins. The storage bins are often in a trailer configuration with a large footprint.
- For instance, in normal fracturing operations proppant or sand is combined with a fracturing fluid in a blender and then pumped by high pressure pumps into the well bore. Depending on the reservoir and well requirements, a large volume of materials may be required on location. In some pad frac applications several well bores may be treated without moving the fracturing equipment, therefore requiring up to 2,000,000 pounds of materials in a 24 hour period. The typical volume for a trailer storage device is often between 2500 sks to 3200 sks. As a result, an area of over 14000 square feet may be required for storing the 2,000,000 pounds of materials which is necessary for some pad frac applications. Considering the limitations on space availability on the field, the large footprint necessary for material storage is undesirable.

In this embodiment, thereceiving latch 302 may pivot in order to self align with thelatching pin 304, providing a self aligning latching system. For instance, when a self erecting silo is to be removed from the field, a trailer having a receivinglatch 302 may be backed in towards thelatching pin 304 on the silo. As the receivinglatch 302 reaches thelatching pin 304 it rotates, allowing thelatching pin 304 to enter the opening 308 on the receivinglatch 302. As depicted inFIG. 3 , thereceiving latch 302 may include acylinder 310. Before thelatching pin 304 is engaged with thereceiving latch 302 thecylinder 310 may be in the retracted position. Once thereceiving latch 302 has self aligned with thelatching pin 304, thelatching pin 304 moves into the opening 308 of the receivinglatch 302 until it reaches theend portion 312 of the opening.

Thetrailer 102 can then be removed from the location to make space available for additional equipment and/or storage units on the field. In one embodiment thesame trailer 102 may be used to transport additional silos to the field. - As depicted in
FIGS. 6A and 6B , in one exemplary embodiment thesilo 100 may rest on an extendable support base 500. The extendable support base 500 may enhance the silo's 100 stability, specially in inclement weather or on substandard soil/pad conditions. Specifically, the extendable support base 500 may be a solid plane reducing the load per unit area at the base.

20. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
placing a second storage bin on a trailer;
coupling a first end of the trailer to a first location on the second storage bin;
coupling a movable arm to a second location on the second storage bin,
wherein the movable arm is coupled to a second end of the trailer; extending the movable arm,
wherein the second storage bin is raised as the movable arm extends;
decoupling the first location on the second storage bin from the first end of the trailer; and
decoupling the second location on the second storage bin from the movable arm.
21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the first storage bin and the second storage bin have different capacities.
22. A method of lowering a self erecting storage system comprising:
coupling a first latching mechanism to a trailer;
coupling an extendable arm to the trailer;
coupling a second latching mechanism to the extendable arm;
connecting the first latching mechanism to a first pin on a storage bin;
extending the extendable arm;
connecting the second latching mechanism to a second pin on the storage bin;
retracting the extendable arm.
23. The method of claim 22 , wherein the storage bin is a silo.
24. The method of claim 22 , wherein the latching mechanism comprises a receiving latch and a latching pin.
