Abstract
A system for producing a wellbore fluid including a process fluid source, a rotating apparatus, and a motor directly coupled to the rotating apparatus. The motor is configured to receive a coolant and transfer heat from the motor to the coolant. The rotating apparatus is configured to receive process fluid from the process fluid source and mix the process fluid received from the process fluid source with one or more additives to produce a wellbore fluid. The coolant transfers heat to the process fluid, the wellbore fluid or both.
Claims21
A system, comprising:
- a process fluid source;
- a mixing assembly configured to receive process fluid from the process fluid source, and to mix the process fluid received from the process fluid source with one or more additives to produce a wellbore fluid;
- and
- a motor directly coupled to the mixing assembly, wherein the motor is configured to drive the mixing assembly, to receive a coolant, to transfer heat to the coolant, and to deliver at least a portion of the coolant to the process fluid source to heat the process fluid.
