HYDRAULIC FRACTURING PUMPS TO ENHANCE FLOW OF FRACTURING FLUID INTO WELLHEADS AND RELATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044235 titled 'HYDRAULIC FRACTURING PUMPS TO ENHANCE FLOW OF FRACTURING FLUID INTO WELLHEADS AND RELATED METHODS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes systems and methods for improving the flow of fracturing fluid into a wellhead during high-pressure fracturing operations. The system includes a pump frame and a crankshaft, with a plurality of first plungers connected to the crankshaft and reciprocating in a first plane. Additionally, a plurality of second plungers connected to the crankshaft reciprocate in a second plane. The first and second planes have a non-zero offset angle between them. Each crankpin on the crankshaft is connected to one first plunger and one second plunger. The first plungers pump a first fracturing fluid, while the second plungers pump a second fracturing fluid different from the first.

  • The system includes a pump frame and a crankshaft.
  • A plurality of first plungers are connected to the crankshaft and reciprocate in a first plane.
  • A plurality of second plungers are connected to the crankshaft and reciprocate in a second plane.
  • The first and second planes have a non-zero offset angle between them.
  • Each crankpin on the crankshaft is connected to one first plunger and one second plunger.
  • The first plungers pump a first fracturing fluid, while the second plungers pump a second fracturing fluid different from the first.

Potential Applications:

  • Hydraulic fracturing operations in oil and gas wells.
  • Improving the flow of fracturing fluid into a wellhead during high-pressure operations.

Problems Solved:

  • Enhancing the flow of fracturing fluid into a wellhead during high-pressure fracturing operations.
  • Allowing for the pumping of different fracturing fluids simultaneously.

Benefits:

  • Increased efficiency and effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing operations.
  • Ability to pump multiple fracturing fluids at the same time.
  • Improved control over the flow of fracturing fluids into the wellhead.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods to enhance the flow of fracturing fluid into a wellhead during a high-pressure fracturing operation may include providing a pump frame and a crankshaft. a plurality of first plungers may be connected to the crankshaft and may reciprocate in a first plane. the hydraulic fracturing pump also may include a plurality of second plungers connected to the crankshaft and positioned to reciprocate in a second plane. the first plane and the second plane may define a non-zero offset angle between the first plane and the second plane. the crankshaft may include a plurality of crankpins, and each of the crankpins may be connected to one of the first plungers and one of the second plungers. the first plungers may pump a first fracturing fluid and the second plungers may pump a second fracturing fluid different from the first fracturing fluid.
