Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to hydraulic fracturing technology, and more particularly to systems and methods pertaining to electric hydraulic fracturing trailers.
  • Hydraulic fracturing has been used for decades to stimulate production from conventional oil and gas wells.
  • the practice consists of pumping fluid into a wellbore at high pressure. Inside the wellbore, the fluid is forced into the formation being produced. When the fluid enters the formation, it fractures, or creates fissures, in the formation. Water, as well as other fluids, and some solid proppants, are then pumped into the fissures to stimulate the release of oil and gas from the formation.
  • Fracturing rock in a formation requires that the fracture fluid be pumped into the wellbore at very high pressure. This pumping is typically performed by large pumps and various other large and heavy equipment. These components are moved and positioned on large heavy duty trailers. In order to carry all the required equipment, conventional trailers are approximately 50 feet in length. Typically, a fracturing operation requires many such trailers to be simultaneously used and located at a job site, thus taking up quite a large footprint among other inefficiencies.
  • a compact fracturing system includes a pump truck having a length of at most 40 feet and an electronic system positioned on the pump truck.
  • the electronic system includes a transformer and electronic motor controls housed together with the transformer, and a variable-frequency drive (VFD).

  • the pump trailer further includes a lubrication system having a plurality of sensors, the lubrication system compatible with oil lubrication.

  • Electric powered hydraulic fracturing services are a growing part of the broader hydraulic fracturing industry.
  • the ability to power hydraulic fracturing pumps using electric motors, rather than diesel engines or other power sources, provides many advantages.

  • the present technology relates to an electric hydraulic fracturing system designed to be more compact than known systems, such that primary components of the system can be mounted on a pump trailer of less than 40 feet, and in some cases less than 37 feet (up to a 23% reduction in trailer size over other electric hydraulic fracturing trailers).
