Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for providing on-site electrical power to a fracturing operation, and an electrically powered fracturing system. Natural gas can be used to drive a turbine generator in the production of electrical power. A scalable, electrically powered fracturing fleet is provided to pump fluids for the fracturing operation, obviating the need for a constant supply of diesel fuel to the site and reducing the site footprint and infrastructure required for the fracturing operation, when compared with conventional systems.
Claims20
A system for use in delivering pressurized fluid to a wellbore to be fractured, comprising:
- a transportable electric turbine generator;
- an electric motor electrically connected to the turbine generator;
- a first fracturing fluid pump coupled to the electric motor and configured to be driven by the electric motor and to pump fracturing fluid into a conduit in communication with the wellbore;
- a second fracturing fluid pump coupled to the electric motor and configured to be driven by the electric motor and to pump fracturing fluid into a conduit in communication with the wellbore at the same time as the first fracturing fluid pump;
- a blender system configured to provide the fracturing fluid to at least one of the first fracturing fluid pump or the second fracturing fluid pump, the blender system further comprising a first inlet electric motor, a second inlet electric motor, a first electric discharge motor, and a second electric discharge motor;
- and
- a trailer on which the electric motor, the first fracturing fluid pump, and the second fracturing fluid pump are mounted.
