International Classification:

B01F 15/02

US Classification:

366141000, 366160300

Abstract:

An apparatus for manufacturing well treatment fluid is disclosed that includes a proppant storage and metering unit; a chemical storage and metering unit connected to a blending unit; and an electronic control system connected to the proppant storage and metering unit, the chemical storage and metering unit, and the blending unit; wherein the proppant storage and metering unit, chemical storage and metering unit, and blending unit are contained in a single land-based enclosure. A method for manufacturing well treatment fluid is disclosed that includes delivering to a blending unit a desired rate of proppant by weighing a proppant storage and metering unit storing the proppant; and adjusting the size of a calibrated aperture on the proppant storage and metering unit. A method for manufacturing multiple well treatment fluids at a single location is disclosed. Methods of monitoring the usage of well treatment components during the manufacture of well treatment components are disclosed.

US Classification:

16625001, 1663051, 705400

Abstract:

Methods for manufacturing well treatment fluid including delivering to a blending unit a desired rate of proppant by weighing a proppant storage and metering unit storing the proppant; and adjusting the size of a calibrated aperture on the proppant storage and metering unit. Methods also include delivering chemicals from a chemical storage and metering unit to the blending unit; combining the proppant and chemicals in the blending unit; and allowing the well treatment fluid to flow from the blending unit to a well location.

Filed:

Jul 29, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/363430

Inventors:

Paul W. Heilman - Duncan OK

Assignee:

Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. - Duncan OK

International Classification:

F17C 1300

US Classification:

62 506

Abstract:

A cryogenic pump manifold with subcooler and heat exchanger. The manifold comprises an inlet header with a subcooler disposed around it and a heat exchanger on the inlet side of the inlet header and subcooler. An expansion device is disposed between the inlet header and subcooler, and some liquid is diverted from the header and evaporated into a gas through the expansion device thereby lowering the temperature of the expanded gas which provides significant cooling to the cryogenic liquid entering the suction of the pump. An ejector may be positioned in the exhaust line from the heat exchanger to increase the flow rate, resulting in even more cooling. The cooling improves the overall performance of the pump and increases the ambient temperature range of operation of the pump. A method of cooling cryogenic liquid entering the suction of a pump is also disclosed.

Inventors:

Paul W. Heilman - Duncan OK

Assignee:

Halliburton Company - Duncan OK

International Classification:

F17C 902

US Classification:

62 502

Abstract:

An improved commingling chamber for the distribution and pressure equalization of a thermodynamic working fluid used in a recirculating liquid type heat transfer processing system. The improved commingling chamber includes a volumetric chamber generally defined by a vessel wall, a top portion of the chamber, a lower portion of the chamber having a side wall. The lower portion terminates into a base preferably having an outlet port located therein. At least one inlet port and outlet port are located in the vessel wall. A conduit having a first end attached to at least one inlet port and being of sufficient length and configuration to vector incoming fluid toward the base outlet port, and a flow through region between a terminating end of the conduit means is provided to form a flow path between fluid exiting the conduit and the volumetric chamber. Alternative embodiments for accommodating multiple inlet ports and outlet ports are disclosed.

International Classification:

F23Q 706

US Classification:

431263

Abstract:

A burner apparatus comprising: a liquid fuel discharge means for discharging a liquid fuel; an ignition chamber wherein an ignitable gaseous composition can be ignited to yield an ignited composition; and a gas delivery means for delivering a gaseous, free oxygen source and a combustible gas to the ignition chamber such that the ignitable gaseous composition is provided in the combustion chamber. The ignition chamber is positioned with respect to the liquid fuel discharge means such that, upon leaving the ignition chamber, the ignited gaseous composition will ignite the liquid fuel as the liquid fuel is discharged from the discharge means. Preferably, the gas delivery means includes a conduit through which the free oxygen source is conducted into the ignition chamber. The gas delivery means also preferably includes a passageway, adjacent the exterior of the conduit, through which the combustible gas is conducted into the ignition chamber. The gas delivery passageway preferably substantially surrounds the oxygen source delivery conduit.
