Abstract
A converterless motor-driven pump system includes an off-grid prime mover. The prime mover includes a rotational driveshaft that operates in response to a throttle or fuel input controller to control a rotation speed of the prime mover driveshaft. Operation of the throttle or fuel input controller is based on desired output characteristics of a pumping load. One or more electric power generators are driven by the off-grid prime mover to generate AC or DC power on an electrical bus shared by a plurality of variable speed electric motors. A plurality of pumps is connected to a common manifold shared by the plurality of pumps. The plurality of pumps is driven by the plurality of variable speed electric motors to generate a desired wellhead pressure or pumping load flow rate via the shared common manifold.
Description
- The subject matter of this disclosure relates generally to motor-driven pumps, and more particularly, to a multiplicity of motor-driven pumps being fed from a singularity of generators tied to a single, throttle controlled prime mover.
- A common way to drive multiple pumps uses multiple prime movers. The gas fracking industry, for example, generally employs a single diesel engine powering a single pump through a mechanical gear box. This technique employs many engines, gearboxes and pumps on many trailers, resulting in a very busy and very crowded pumping structure.

FIG. 1 illustrates aconventional system 1 that is known in the gas fracking industry for operating a pump. Thesystem 1 uses a single prime mover including adiesel engine 2 that is fueled by either natural gas or diesel fuel to drive afracking pump 3. Eachfracking pump 3 is mechanically coupled via a transmission andcorresponding gearbox 5 to a singlereciprocating pump 3 to achieve optimization of thepumping system 1.System 1 is generally disposed on a single truck trailer. A plurality ofsuch pump systems 1 together operate to provide a combined pressure in a common high pressure manifold 6 that supplies a desired pressure to a wellhead. A typical application may include about 16 such truck trailers, each includingsystem 1, and that are backed up to one well head for fracking. - Another approach to driving pumps is through the use of electric motor driven pumps such as electric submersible pumps (ESPs). A conventional system in the oil and gas industry employs a variable speed drive (VSD) that is fed by a fixed frequency AC supply to drive a single ESP. The VSD synthesizes voltages and currents of such frequency as is necessary to operate the pump in the desired manner. In the oil and gas industry, the voltage output by the VSD is usually stepped up to a medium voltage using a transformer because high voltage motors are deployed in wells to reduce the size of the power cable needed to supply the motor. Similar to the gas fracking industry that generally requires each pump have a dedicated diesel engine, each ESP generally requires a dedicated VSD.
-
FIG. 2 illustrates aconventional system 10 that is known in the oil and gas industry for operating electric submersible pumps (ESPs) 12 in an off-grid application. One or more prime movers that are directly coupled togenerators 14 produce an AC voltage having a fixed frequency and amplitude to supply one or moreelectrical loads 15. The prime mover(s) may comprise, for example, a reciprocating engine that is fueled by either natural gas or diesel fuel, or a turbine. The generated AC power is fed to aVSD 16 that is responsible for regulating the operation of the ESP 12 subsequent to stepping up the AC voltage to a medium voltage level that is supplied toESP motor 18 via asuitable transformer 19. - In view of the foregoing, there is a need in the gas fracking industry to provide a pumping system that is less complex, less costly, and that has a smaller footprint. The pumping system should eliminate the necessity for using a plurality of diesel engines to power a plurality of pumps, and should also operate without the need to employ VSDs or other electronic controls to monitor and vary the voltage/frequency to the load.

electric generator 30 is electrically coupled to the plurality of respective AC or DCelectric motors 24 via the shared electrical bus 26 that is common to the plurality ofelectric motors 24. The motor-drivenpumping system 20 may comprise more than oneelectric generator 22, depending on the particular application. Regardless, any plurality ofelectric generators 22 that may be employed function together as a singularity of generators to supply electric power to the shared electric bus 26. In this way, each motor operates at the same frequency and/or voltage to supply power to the plurality ofpumps 22 such that the plurality ofpumps 22 together control a single wellhead pressure or pumping load flow rate. - According to one aspect, the need for variable speed and output pumping power is accomplished by control of the prime mover's throttle or fuel input controller/
mechanism 36. The electric generator's voltage control element/regulator 32 is locally implemented and utilizes the rotation speed of the prime mover's driveshaft as a control input via agenerator control element 38. Although described in terms of a singleprime mover 28 and a singleelectric generator 30, the principles described herein apply as well to a plurality of prime movers, generators, load motors and rotational loads/pumps, such described herein with reference toFIG. 3 . It can be appreciated that such elements may be mechanically connected in various fashions, but the common electrical connection/shared bus 26 is assumed; and pumping power/motors 24 are controlled through the prime mover(s) throttle control/mechanism 36 through the use of feedback and/or feedforward information such as, without limitation, wellhead pressure, and/or pumping load flow. - According to one aspect, the throttle control/
mechanism 36 may be locally operated manually by an operator that has knowledge of pumping load characteristics, allowing the operator to manually control the electrical frequency or pumping speed in which the power to the load is approximated by a quadratic function of the electrical frequency or pumping speed.FIG. 5 is agraph 90 illustrating control characteristics for one embodiment of a gas turbine engine/prime mover for both a conventional single speed (60 Hz) mode and a variable speed mode using direct electrical coupling to a plurality of motors. The primemover output power 92 andfuel efficiency 94 change in response to the speed of the prime mover. Both theoutput power 92 andfuel efficiency 94 are affected in different ways as depicted forvariable speed operation 96 andconstant speed operation 98. It can be appreciated that DC voltage effects DC motor speed and pump speed when using DC motors. - According to another aspect, the throttle control/
mechanism 36 may be remotely operated from a programmable controller/computer operating center 31 where an operator may transmit a command to the throttle control/mechanism 36, allowing the operator to control the wellhead pressure and/or pumping load flow rate remotely. According to another aspect, the prime mover throttle control/mechanism 36 relies on feedback information from the electrical generator(s) 30, the variable speed motor(s) 24, and/or the pump(s) 22 in order to control the wellhead pressure and/or pumping load flow rate(s). - The motor-driven
pumping system 20 thus uses and controls a plurality ofpumps 22 to achieve a desired pressurization and hydraulic fracturing of a gas well. According to one aspect, the motor-drivenpumping system 20 is mobile via a plurality oftrailers 42, and advantageously provides a small footprint near thewellhead 40 by installing two ormore pumps 22 andmotors 24 pertrailer 42, resulting in fewer prime movers of larger power rating either near thewellhead 40, or remote from the well head site. A correspondingmanual disconnect mechanism 50 is employed to couple eachelectric motor 24 to the shared electrical bus 26. It can be appreciated that small prime movers are more efficient and can be logistically easier to employ and maintain, particularly when using a simple electrical connection to the loads. - Depending on the selection of the prime mover(s) 28 and the generator(s) 30, it may be desirable to use a gearbox to match the shaft speeds of the prime mover(s) 28 and generator(s) 30. It is preferable to use a fixed ratio gearbox to keep the
system 20 as simple as possible. According to one aspect, the motor-driven pump(s) 22 are located on thesame trailer 42 transporting thepump motors 24. - According to one embodiment, each
motor 24 is mechanically coupled via atransmission 44 and correspondinggearbox 46 to asingle reciprocating pump 22 to achieve optimization of the motor-drivenpumping system 20. The plurality of reciprocating pumps 22 together operate to provide a combined pressure in a commonhigh pressure manifold 48 that supplies a desired pressure to thewellhead 40. The wellhead pressure may be monitored via apressure sensor 52 at or near the wellhead. The motor-drivenpumping system 20 may further employ relay andprotection equipment 50 that will shut down thesystem 20 due to predetermined overload/fault conditions that may occur during operation of thesystem 20. - The motor-driven
pumping system 20 advantageously i) eliminates the need for a variable speed drive or a plurality of variable speed drives and transformer, simplifying the system, resulting in improved system reliability, ii) can optionally use pumped gas via the system pump(s) 22 as the fuel to run the prime mover(s) 28, resulting in very low fuel costs, iii) operates independently of a utility power grid; iv) eliminates the need for a multi-speed gear box between the engine prime mover(s) 28 and the pump(s) 22; v) eliminates a multitude of engine-gearbox-pump systems in favor of a single largeprime mover 28 having a single control point; and vi) allows for a largeprime mover 28 to be located some distance away from the pump(s) 22 andwellhead 40, thus giving more access to productive equipment e.g. slurry distribution, pumps, valves, safety equipment, etc. - It can be appreciated that there may be reasons to retain a transformer between the
generator 28 and the motor driven pump(s) 22. Such reasons may include, without limitation, minimizing system cost and/or maximizing operational flexibility. According to one aspect, the decision to retain or remove the transformer(s) from thesystem 20 may be made on the basis of system optimization rather than conceptual operation of thesystem 20. - It can further be appreciated that the pump motor(s) 22 may be any electric motor that can be line started, including not only induction motors, but also a special class of permanent magnet motors known as line-start permanent magnet motors.

FIG. 3 is a simplified system diagram illustrating a motor-drivenpumping system 60 usingmultiple groups pumps 22, eachgroup pumps 22 powered from a corresponding sharedelectrical bus generator combination programmable controller 80 is programmed to monitor desired operating conditions such as, without limitation, well head pressure(s) and/or pumping load flow rates. Theprogrammable controller 80 communicates control signals to the corresponding throttle or fuel input controls/mechanisms prime movers - Each prime mover/
generator combination programmable controller 80 that may be implemented as a single control unit or may be implemented in numerous ways as a distributed controller, based on the particular application. In this way, onegroup 62 of motor-drivenpumps 22 can function to generate a desired wellhead pressure for a first gas well; while asecond group 64 of motor-drivenpumps 22 can function to generate a desired wellhead pressure for a second gas well independent of thefirst group 62 of motor-driven pumps 22. The number of motor-driven pump groups is limited only by the particular application, and is theoretically unlimited. According to one embodiment, theprogrammable controller 80 receives a single feedback signal from eachgroup pumps 22 rather than a plurality of signals comprising a signal associated with each individual motor-drivenpump 22. In this way, theprogrammable controller 80 controls eachgroup pumps 22 based on a single feedback signal to achieve a desired pumping load characteristic such as, without limitation, wellhead pressure or pumping load flow rate associated with the correspondinghigh pressure manifold group pumps 22 is based on a corresponding feedback signal that is common to all of themotors 24 and pumps 22 within the corresponding group. - The programmed
controller 80 may include a processor and a memory device. The processor includes any suitable programmable circuit which may include one or more systems and microcontrollers, microprocessors, reduced instruction set circuits (RISC), digital signal processors (DSPs), application specific integrated circuits (ASIC), programmable logic circuits (PLC), field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), and any other circuit capable of executing the functions described herein. The above examples are exemplary only, and thus are not intended to limit in any way the definition and/or meaning of the term “processor.” The memory device includes a computer readable medium, such as, without limitation, random access memory (RAM), flash memory, a hard disk drive, a solid state drive, a diskette, a flash drive, a compact disc, a digital video disc, and/or any suitable device that enables the processor to store, retrieve, and/or execute instructions and/or data. - In the exemplary embodiment depicted in
FIG. 3 , programmedcontroller 80 includes a plurality ofcontrol interfaces mechanisms prime mover controller 80 also includes asensor interface 86 that is coupled to at least onesensor 52 such as shown and described with reference toFIG. 2 . Eachsensor 52 may transmit a signal continuously, periodically, or only once and/or any other signal timing that enables programmedcontroller 80 to function as described herein. Moreover, eachsensor 52 may transmit a signal either in an analog form or in a digital form. -
Programmed controller 80 may also include a display and a user interface. The display, according to one embodiment, includes a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) and/or one or more light-emitting diodes (LED). Additionally or alternatively, the display may include, without limitation, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a cathode ray tube (CRT), a plasma display, and/or any suitable visual output device capable of displaying graphical data and/or text to a user. - Various connections are available between the programmed
controller 80 and each throttle or fuel input control/mechanism - In summary explanation, a motor-driven
pumping system pumping system prime mover 28, improving access to thewell head 40 region for fracking equipment and safety. The use of power generated on-site advantageously reduces the time it takes to put a well into production resulting from delays in getting the utility to install requisite power lines. Further, the use of natural gas produced by the well itself advantageously reduces the operating expense. The motor-drivenpumping system - Since the output of the generator(s) 30, 72, 76 is substantially sinusoidal when compared with the output of a variable speed drive, a filter is not required between the generator(s) and the motor(s) 24. The output of a variable VSD, for example, contains significant high frequency content, the result of chopping up DC voltage/current to produce AC voltage/current. This chopping action disadvantageously creates high frequency components called harmonics that are detrimental to the motor driving the pump. A filter is usually installed between the VSD and the motor; however, anecdotal data suggest that even such a filter may not always adequately filter out the harmonics, leading to accelerated aging of the insulation systems in the transformer, cable, and motor. This disadvantageously reduces the life of the system
- A VSD also draws nonsinusoidal currents from its supply, unless an active front end is applied to the VSD. These resulting harmonics are detrimental to the generator supplying the VSD. Many system designs oversize the generator so that it can better tolerate the harmonic currents drawn by the VSD. Other system designs will use an active power filter to source the harmonic currents drawn by the VSD, thereby alleviating the generator from having to supply them. Either of such approaches adds to the cost and complexity of the system. Further, VFD's occupy space near the
wellhead 40, and can be a reliability problem. - The principles described herein with reference to the various embodiments include reduced capital expense and more timely well production. The off-grid motor-driven system embodiments described herein advantageously allow putting a well into production sooner since there is frequently a substantial waiting period for the utility to install supply lines to the well site, as stated herein. At such time as utility power is available, the well operator can remove the prime mover and generator, replacing them with a variable speed drive and transformers if desired.
- However, this is typically not done in the gas fracking industry since fracking is done by bringing in tractor trailer trucks with a diesel-transmission-pump system on each
bed 42. Such tractor trailer trucks consume substantial amounts of fuel and emit substantial amounts of smoke and noise. It is easily appreciated that awellhead 40 may get very crowded with, for example, 10-12 fracking trucks in close proximity to thewellhead 40. - Looking again at
FIG. 2 , theprime mover driveshaft 34 is coupled directly or indirectly to thegenerator 30; while thegenerator 30 is electrically coupled to a plurality ofmotors 24 that may be line start motors such as induction motors, permanent magnet motors, or DC motors used in association with a DC generator system, via a shared electrical bus 26; and each motor driveshaft is directly or indirectly coupled to a corresponding well pump 22, as depicted inFIG. 2 . Theprime mover 28 is turned-on to rotate itsdriveshaft 34, causing thegenerator 30 to produce AC or DC power sufficient to power the plurality ofmotors 24, that subsequently drive the plurality of well pumps 22. It can be appreciated that if the generator derives variable DC electricity, the motor(s) must be a DC motor(s); and that if the generator produces variable frequency AC, the motor(s) can be either an induction, permanent magnet or wound field synchronous motor(s). - The present inventors realized that the engine
throttle control element 36 is the only control element necessary to control the plurality of well pumps 22, recognizing the nature of the pumping load, where power to the load is typically a quadratic function of speed/frequency. Therefore, the enginethrottle control element 36 may be controlled in an open loop mode, a closed loop mode, or a combination thereof, either manually or automatically, in which the engine throttle setting is based on a desire to do more or less pumping at the load. The desire to do more or less work is based on the nature of the pumping load, as stated herein, and can be compared with driving a motor vehicle where in order to get home faster, one need only press down harder on the accelerator (throttle). It is not necessary to measure the output power and precisely set the accelerator (throttle). The speed of the motor vehicle is regulated by approximately pressing on the accelerator. - The engine
throttle control element 36, when operated in a closed loop mode, may operate in response to one or more desired operational characteristics, including without limitation, electric motor voltage, electric motor frequency, pump speed/rotational frequency, wellhead pressure(s), pumping load flow rates, and pump operating point(s), among others. - Since some applications may employ a permanent magnet generator that does not require excitation, it can be appreciated that a generator exciter will not be required in such applications. The use of a permanent magnet generator further simplifies the motor-driven
pumping system 20 without sacrificing performance, as stated herein. - Although particular embodiments have been described herein with application to electric motor-driven gas well fracking pumps, the principles described herein can just as easily be applied to other applications including without limitation, geothermal applications. In such applications, gas turbines, reciprocating engines, or other rotational energy sources can be employed to rotate the generator.
- The programmed
controller 80 may further be configured with synchronization logic and programmed according to yet another embodiment to generate a control signal that activates an auxiliary/spare generator to provide a parallel operation capability. - While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.
