Definitions
- the system further includes a proppant chute positioned at an end of the conveyor auxiliary unit, the proppant chute having an opening to direct the proppant from the conveyor belt into a blending hopper, the proppant chute being positioned at a higher elevation than an inlet of the blending hopper such that the proppant exits the proppant chute into the blending hopper via gravity feed.
- the system includes a conveyor auxiliary unit positioned at an end of the conveyor asssembly, the conveyor auxiliary unit having an inclined section that increases a vertical position of the conveyor belt relative to a ground plane, one or more joints positioned along the conveyor assembly to enable expansion and compaction of the conveyor belt, and a proppant chute positioned at the end of the conveyor assembly, the proppant chute moveable to direct the proppant away from the convey belt.
- the system includes a blending hopper positioned proximate the conveyor assembly to receive and mix the proppant with one or more proppant fluids for injection into a well.
- the system also includes a tub positioned at an inlet of the blending hopper between the blending hopper and the proppant chute, the tub being removable from the blending hopper and positioned at a lower elevation than the proppant chute when coupled to the blending hopper.
- FIG. 1 is a rear perspective view of a blender unit, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure
- FIG. 8 is a rear perspective view of a chute positioned over a blending hopper, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure include a conveyor auxiliary unit used in conjunction with a system for delivering proppant.
- the conveyor auxiliary unit used in conjunction with a system for delivering proppant.
- the tub 14 may be positioned directly above the inlet 16 of the blending hopper 18.
- use of the auger units 20 can be eliminated, thereby improving efficiencies at the well site.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic side elevational view of an embodiment of a proppant delivery system 100 arranged proximate a well site having a proppant blender unit 110.
- the proppant delivery system 100 utilizes modular, stackable, sealed proppant containers 132 to transport proppant for delivery, dispersion, and use at the well site.
- the proppant containers 132 may be loaded onto trucks and transported to the well site from a sand mine, transloading facility, or the like.
- the modular, pre-loaded boxes reduce demurrage typically experienced at well sites due to unloading sand from bulk pneumatic containers. It will be appreciated that, in certain embodiments, features of the proppant delivery system enable the efficient loading, unloading, and transportation of proppant at the well site.
- FIG. 5 is a partial schematic side elevational view of the conveyor assembly 128 and the conveyor auxiliary unit 140.
- a cover 160 arranged about the conveyor assembly 128 and the conveyor auxiliary unit 140 is partially removed for clarity.
- the conveyor belt 130 extends along the conveyor assembly 128 and the conveyor auxiliary unit 140 toward the chute 126.
- the conveyor belt 130 in the illustrated embodiment is an endless conveyor that loops around at each end, thereby facilitating transportation of the proppant from the containers 132.
- the proppant is transported along the conveyor belt 130 and deposited into the tub 114 positioned above the inlet 116 of the blending hopper 118. In this manner, the auger units 20 may be eliminated, thereby improving efficiencies of fracturing operations.
- the joint 134 is utilized to facilitate a rotatable connection between the conveyor assembly 128 and the conveyor auxiliary unit 140, and therefore, a variety of different connections may be utilized without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
- the conveyor auxiliary unit 140 may be utilized to position the chute 126 over the tub 114 to enable gravity feed of the proppant into the blending hopper 118.
