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.

BJ Energy Solutions, LLC - Houston TX
International Classification:
F04B 53/16 E21B 43/26
Abstract:
Embodiments of a high-pressure, high power, reciprocating positive displacement fluid pumping system and methods are included. The system may include a high-pressure, high power, reciprocating positive displacement pump including a pump plunger, a fluid end block assembly, and a fluid cover. The fluid end block assembly may include a fluid end block body, a suction port, a discharge port, a pump bore positioned in and extending through the fluid end block body, and a fluid chamber positioned in the fluid end block body and in fluid communication with each of the suction port, the discharge port, and the pump bore. The fluid chamber has an open end portion, and the pump plunger may be positioned to move in the pump bore to pressurize one or more fluids in the fluid chamber. The fluid cover includes a monolithic body having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being received in the open end portion and sealably engaged with the fluid end block body, the second portion being mechanically connected to the fluid end block body.

The density of slurries produced by mobile blender for injection into oil and gas wells is controlled using a microwave flow meter. Liquid having a known density is provided to the blender. The liquid is flowed through a conduit and discharged into a blending tub on the mobile blender. The amount of liquid introduced into the tub is measured with a liquid flow meter. Solid particulates having a known density are provided to the blender. The particulates are discharged into the tub by allowing them to fall into the tub from a conveyor on the mobile blender. The amount of the particulates falling into the tub are measured with a microwave flow meter. The flow of the liquid and the particulates are controlled in response to the measurements to blend a slurry having a predetermined density. The slurry is provided for injection into the well.
Frac pumps have valve seats and bodies. The valve seats comprise a cylindrical body and an annular seat surface. The body has an axial passage and external threads adapted to engage internal threads in a fluid end block of the frac pump. The annular seat surface is at an end of the body and is adapted to engage a valve body. The valve bodies comprise a head and a compressible seal. The head provides a valve surface adapted to engage the valve seat. The compressible seal is carried on the head radially inward of the valve surface and is adapted to engage the valve seat.
