Abstract
Hydraulic fracturing systems and methods that are configured for enhanced mobility. The hydraulic fracturing systems and methods utilize power supply components, power generating devices, and electrically powered devices that are relatively small and lightweight, thereby making the systems they are used in more easily transportable without sacrificing system performance when delivering pressurized fracturing fluid to one or more wellbores. Due to their relatively small size, the hydraulic fracturing systems may require less maintenance and may therefore be relatively inexpensive to own and operate.
Claims14
A fracturing system for use at a fracturing site, the fracturing system comprising:
- at least one mobile unit comprising:
- at least one frame mounted unit, the at least one frame mounted unit comprising:
- one or more pressure delivering devices;
- one or more electrically powered devices, the one or more electrically powered devices being coupled to the pressure delivering devices via at least one mechanical coupling;
- one or more variable-frequency drives (VFD), the one or more variable-frequency drives being in electrical communication with the one or more electrically powered devices;
- and
- a power source coupled to the electrically powered devices and VFD, wherein the one or more electrically power devices are adapt to be added or removed from the fracturing site without modification of the VFD,
- wherein the one or more pressure delivering devices are configured to deliver slurry to at least one wellbore.
