Abstract
Apparatus and methods for energizing well operations fluids, including a fluid energizing device directly or operatively connected between first and second conduits. The fluid energizing device includes a chamber. A first fluid enters the chamber from the first conduit, and a second fluid enters the chamber from the second conduit and energizes the first fluid within the chamber. A third conduit conducts the energized first fluid from the chamber to a wellhead.
Claims26
An apparatus comprising:
- a first conduit;
- a second conduit;
- a fluid energizing device directly or operatively connected between the first and second conduits, wherein the fluid energizing device comprises a chamber, wherein a first fluid enters the chamber from the first conduit, and wherein a second fluid enters the chamber from the second conduit and energizes the first fluid within the chamber;
- and
- a third conduit conducting the energized first fluid from the chamber to a wellhead.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- conducting a first fluid through a first conduit into a chamber of a fluid energizing device;
- energizing the first fluid within the chamber by conducting a second fluid through a second conduit into the chamber;
- and
- conducting the energized first fluid from the chamber to a wellhead.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- conducting a first fluid into a first one of a plurality of chambers of a fluid energizing device, wherein the fluid energizing device comprises:
- a housing comprising the chambers;
- a first end cap comprising:
- a first inlet passage in fluid communication with the first one of the chambers;
- and
- a first outlet passage not in fluid communication with the first one of the chambers;
- and
- a second end cap comprising a second inlet passage and a second outlet passage, neither of which are in fluid communication with the first one of the chambers;
- energizing the first fluid within the first one of the chambers by:
- rotating the housing relative to the first and second end caps to establish fluid communication between the second inlet passage and the first one of the chambers while ceasing fluid communication between the first inlet passage and the first one of the chambers;
- and
- conducting a second fluid into the first one of the chambers through the second inlet passage;
- discharging the energized first fluid from the first one of the chambers by further rotating the housing relative to the first and second end caps to establish fluid communication between the first outlet passage and the first one of the chambers while ceasing fluid communication between the second inlet passage and the first one of the chambers;
- and
- conducting the energized first fluid discharged from the first one of the chambers into a well.
