2.3MIXING SYSTEM

 

2.3.1BLENDER TUB

 

This unique Stewart & Stevenson cylindrical blender tub assembly utilizes a tub within a tub design concept to ensure complete and consistent blending of even the highest of density slurries. This tub design combines the principals of high surface areas to ensure low aeration mixtures with a low volume capacity to prevent inconsistent slurry blending. This combination ensures that the slurry remains in the blending tub for a minimal period of time thus improving the accuracy of the unit measuring, additive and control systems.

 

Clear fluid enters the tub from the side and follows a radial path within the outer fluid chamber. As the fluid circulates around this outer chamber, it flows over the upper radial lip of this chamber, into the inner slurry chamber flowing down the inclined sides of this chamber and co-mingling with the proppants as they are fed into this chamber. Due to the large surface area of the sloping sides of this inner radial slurry chamber, the proppant will be thoroughly wetted without the fluid being unnecessarily aerated.

 

The pre-wetted proppant/fluid mixture flows down the sides of the inner slurry chamber until it reaches the hydraulically driven agitation/mixing assembly installed in the base section of the inner slurry chamber. This agitation/mixing system will thoroughly and consistently mix the slurry into a homogeneous mixture with a minimum of aeration prior to entering the suction manifold of the discharge centrifugal via the bottom open throat section of the inner radial slurry tubs.

 

 

 

21
 

 

Stewart & Stevenson Manufacturing Technologies LLC

 

This 6-barrel volumetric capacity blender tub design will mix slurries at concentrations of up to 20 PPA (2,400 kg/m3).

 

The blender tub also incorporates an automatic fluid level control system that functions by adjusting the suction rate to compensate for the level of fluid in the blender tub. The level is adjustable with automatic control from approx. 2 BBL to 6 BBL. The tub level is measured using a float type measurement system.

 

Chemical additives from the dry and liquid additive systems as described in this proposal are also fed into this blender tub assembly.

 

The blender tub assembly is installed on the deck near the rear of the unit.

 

Screw type augers carry proppant from a hopper at the base of the augers into the blender tub.

 

2.3.2PROPPANT LOADING AUGERS

 

Three hydraulically driven variable speed augers are installed at the rear of the unit. Each auger is equipped with a speed sensor and cable for connection to the rate and total meters mounted in the control console and to the AccuFracTM blender control system. At the base of the augers is a steel hopper that allows proppant trucks to feed proppant into the blender.

 

The augers have the following approximate proppant delivery characteristics with 20/40 mesh silica sand (actual delivery varies with proppant type and condition):

 

Auger   Size   Pitch   Minimum Rate @ 10 RPM   Maximum Rate @ 330 RPM
1   12”   Full   400 lbs/min   180 kg/min   9,400 lbs/min   4250 kg/min
2   12”   Half   200 lbs/min   90 kg/min   4,700 lbs/min   2130 kg/min
3   12”   Full   400 lbs/min   180 kg/min   9,400 lbs/min   4250 kg/min’

2.7ACCUFRACTM SYSTEM

 

The AccuFracTM system automates the blender by controlling proppant and chemical delivery as well as the fluid level in the mixing chamber.

 

The AccuFracTM blender control system is a microprocessor-based system that utilizes two touch-sensitive 8.5” x 6.25” graphical displays. The software and flat panel display are designed for simple operation.

 

The AccuFracTM blender control system is interactive in that the job parameters may be adjusted during the job.

 

 

 

25
 

 

Stewart & Stevenson Manufacturing Technologies LLC

 

This electronic hardware and software package, developed by Stewart & Stevenson to the most up to date field requirements, will allow this blender to carry out complicated stimulation programs including “Ramp Fracs” without operator assistance during the job.

 

The hardware is rugged and protected in NEMA 4X enclosures. The ambient temperature range is -40°C to +50°C for operation.

 

The system comprises two elements. Automatic Density Control (ADC) enables the blender to deliver slurry densities according to pre-programmed patterns regardless of density and flow rate changes. Automatic Chemical Control (ACC) enables the blender to deliver liquid and dry chemical additives according to pre-programmed schedules expressed as a ratio of the base fluid rate.

 

2.7.1AUTOMATIC DENSITY CONTROL (ADC)

 

When in the AUTOMATIC mode, the ADC computer calculates the proppant delivery rates that are required to maintain the user-programmed density. The operator programs the beginning and ending density values, as well as the length for up to 100 individual stages. Each stage has the following user-programmable properties:

 

  Volume per stage
     
  Proppant specific gravity
     
  Proppant bulk density
     
  Fluid specific gravity
     
  Starting density
     
  Ending density

 

The ADC job-monitoring screen allows the operator to view:

 

  Volume per stage
     
  Current stage and number of stages
     
  Suction rate
     
  Discharge rate
     
  Fluid specific gravity
     
  Target density
     
  Measured density (measured by the densitometer)
     
  Calculated density

 

Each proppant delivery auger is equipped with a manual/automatic select switch. If one of the augers is set for manual control, the ADC will automatically adjust the speed of the remaining automatic control augers to maintain the pre-programmed slurry density for the current stage and following stages of the job. The operator can manually control the speed of the manual auger.

 

 

 

26
 

 

Stewart & Stevenson Manufacturing Technologies LLC

 

The ADC system is capable of controlling slurry density in step, ramp, or fixed configuration regardless of blender output flow rate. In the step mode the density is maintained as a constant throughout each stage. When the next stage begins, the ADC controls adjust the proppant flow rate to achieve the next programmed density. The ADC unit is designed and programmed to eliminate bounce at step changes. This is accomplished by initial proppant delivery adjustment being set with computed values and “trimmed out” with sensor reading.

 

When operating a ramp type job, the ADC unit controls the proppant delivery to achieve the desired stage start density. As the stage progresses, the ADC incrementally increases proppant flow rate as required so that the finish density is attained at the end of the stage. A series of ramp stages can be interconnected to produce an “S” shape density curve.

 

2.7.2AUTOMATIC CHEMICAL CONTROL (ACC)

 

When in the AUTOMATIC mode, the ACC controller calculates the chemical injection rates that are required to maintain the user-programmed chemical ratios. The operator programs the concentration values, as well as the length for up to 50 individual stages for each of up to 6 chemical additives being controlled. Each chemical control has an individual manual override. Each stage has the following user-programmable properties:

 

  Volume per stage
     
  Chemical concentration ratio (parts per 1000)
     
  Dry chemical bulk density (dry additive only)

 

The ACC job-monitoring screen allows the operator to view:

 

  Job status
     
  Chemical type
     
  Current stage and number of stages
     
  Individual flow rate for each chemical
     
  Total amount added of each chemical
