TRANSFER UNIT OF DEPOSITS MATERIAL

MOBILE OIL

FIELD

The disclosure generally refers to systems and methods to facilitate the handling of reservoir materials in a space-saving manner and, more specifically, but not limited to mobile devices and methods for transferring materials from oil deposits.

BACKGROUND

To facilitate the recovery of hydrocarbons from oil and gas wells, the underground formations surrounding these wells can be hydraulically fractured. Hydraulic fracturing can be used to create cracks in subsurface formations to allow oil and / or gas to move into the well. The formation is fractured by the introduction of a specially designed fluid, sometimes called fracturing fluid or fracturing suspension, at a high pressure and at high flow rates in the formation through one or more wells. Fracturing fluids can be loaded with proppant, which are particles of adequate size that can be mixed with the liquids in the fracturing fluid to help form an effective conduit for the production of hydrocarbons from the formation to the well. The proppant may comprise gravel natural sand grains, synthetic proppants, e.g.

eg sand coated with resin or fibers, high strength ceramic materials, e.g. ex. sintered bauxite or other suitable materials. The proppant gathers heterogeneously or homogeneously within the fractures to keep the fractures formed in the formation open. In fact, the proppant creates planes of permeable ducts through which production fluids can flow into the well.

In the well installation.

the proppant and other components of the flow fluid are mixed at a low pressure system site. Oilfield materials are usually managed from storage facilities to a mixer using pneumatic systems that blow oilfield materials. The water-based liquid is added and the resulting fracturing fluid is brought to the bottom of the well at a high pressure. However, manipulation of the proppant before mixing tends to create a considerable amount of dust when the proppant is moved towards the mixer by blowers. As a result, dust control devices are used, e.g. ex. vacuum cleaners, in an effort to control dust. The variety of equipment used in the process also tends to create a large base area in the well installation and operating the equipment is generally an intensive manual process.

Therefore, there is a need for useful equipment in a well installation that minimizes the space needed while they are being used and that need is covered, at least in part, by the following description.

In addition, as used herein, any reference to a modality means that a specific element, function, structure or characteristic described in relation to the modality is included in at least one modality. The occurrences of the phrase in a modality in several places of the specification do not necessarily refer to the same modality.

In general terms, Figures 1-2 illustrate an embodiment of a mobile oil reservoir material transfer unit 450 constructed in accordance with the disclosure. The mobile oil reservoir material transfer unit 450 may include a chassis 452, a horizontal conveyor system 454 which may be referred to herein as a second conveyor system 454, a vertical mast assembly 456 and a first conveyor assembly 458, which It can also be referred to here as a vertical conveyor system.

Chassis 452 includes a support base 460 and a gooseneck portion 462. Chassis 452 can be configured to hold the first conveyor assembly 458 and to be pulled by a truck 36 to transport the first conveyor assembly 458 to any desired location, for example a well installation. The chassis 452 is coupled to the vertical mast assembly 456 and can be further configured to raise the first conveyor assembly 458 to a straight or vertical position operative to transport material from the oil field to a silo (which can be a modular silo), as stated in more detail with reference to figure 5. The chassis 452 can cooperate with the vertical mast assembly 456 to move the first conveyor assembly 458 from a horizontal or transport position in the chassis 452 to a straight or vertical operating position. In some embodiments, chassis 452 may also be configured to be assembled or aligned with a modular silo as will be described below. In other aspects, chassis 452 can be adapted to couple an extended base of a system support frame.

The chassis 452 is provided with a support base 460 having a first end 464 (e.g., a front end) and a second end 466 (e.g., a rear end). The chassis 452 may also be provided with a support arm 468 extending between the first end 464 and the second end 466 of the support base 460 and various wheels 470 located at least partially below the support arm 468 (e.g. . , near the second end 466) and operatively connected to the support arm 468.

468-1 and 468-2, which are separated from each other by a space 472 and can be connected to collectively form a support base 460 by means of one or more transverse support members 474 (Figure 2). The space 472 extends longitudinally along the support base 460 between the first end 464 and the second end 466. The support arms 468-1 and 468-2 can be implemented as steel beam, channel, I beam, H beam, wide wing, universal beam, rolled steel beam or any other structure. In some embodiments of the disclosure, various transverse support members 474 may be separated at some distance from each other between the first end 4 64 and the second end 466 of the support base 460, while extending between the support arms 468 -1 and 468-2.

The gooseneck portion 462 extends from the first end 464 of the support base 460 and is configured to connect the chassis 452 to a truck such as truck 36, for example, by means of a suitable towing hitch. Once the truck 36 has been disconnected from the gooseneck part 462, the gooseneck part 462 can be manipulated to be grounded and generally coplanar with the support base 460 as shown in the figure 6. In this configuration, in some cases, the gooseneck part 462 may form a ramp to allow a trailer or truck for the management of oil field materials to be driven or supported on the support base 460. For example, the part Gooseneck 462 may be provided with a first section 476 and a second section 478. The first section 476 may extend from the first end 464 of the support base 460. The first section 476 has a first end 480 and a second end 482. The first end 480 of the first section 476 is movably connected to the support base 460, for example by using a set of hinges, gaps and bolts. or other types of connectors that may be locked in more than one position. The second section 478 is mobilely connected to the second end 482 of the first section 476. For example, the first section 476 may be a four-bar mechanism that may be locked in an elevated position to form the swan neck portion 462 or a lower position to form a ramp. Any suitable tow hitch can be implemented, for example a gooseneck hitch having a structure known in the art as a hitch pivot, for example, to connect the gooseneck portion 462 to a truck 36 as those understood in the technique that benefit from disclosure.

The second conveyor system 454 can be implemented as any suitable conveyor type conveyor or feeder and can be associated with the support base 460 so that the second conveyor system 454 is located at least partially in the space 472 between the arms support 468-1 and 468-2. In another embodiment, the second conveyor system 454 may be pivotally connected to the chassis 452 to move material from the oil field to the second end 466 of the chassis 452. In one embodiment, at least a part of the second conveyor system 454 extends to along a center line of the support base 46 0 as shown in Figures 1-2. The second conveyor system 454 has a second conveyor 484 and a third conveyor 486. The second conveyor 484 may be embedded in the space 472 and located substantially horizontally so that an upper surface of the second conveyor 484 is located at the level or below an upper surface of the support arms 4681 and 468-2, and is configured to allow a truck or trailer to transport oilfield material located at support base 460 to unload, throw or deposit a volume of oil field material on the second conveyor 484 and transport the volume of oil field material from the first end 464 to the second end 466 of the support base 460. In some embodiments, the second conveyor 484 may be located in a center line of the support base 460. The third conveyor 486 is located between the second conveyor 484 and the second end 466 of the chassis 452 and is configured to receive a volume of oil material from the second conveyor 484 and to transport the oil reservoir material to the second end 466 . As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the second conveyor system 454 may include a feeder, a conveyor belt with a smooth surface, or with features enlisted for the transfer of material from the oil field (e.g., in the third conveyor 486). In addition, in some embodiments the second conveyor 484 may be open and the third conveyor 486 may be closed, as will be appreciated by the person skilled in the art who benefits from the disclosure. The third conveyor 486 may be located, in some aspects, inclined upwards (positive angle other than zero) with respect to the second conveyor 484.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, the second conveyor system 454 may be pivotally connected to the support base 460 and / or the chassis 452 so that the second conveyor system 454 can be rotated laterally from the support base 460 on any desired angle as shown in figure 5.

The vertical mast assembly 456 may include a mast 488 supported by the chassis 452 and an actuator system 490 that connects the mast 488 and the chassis 452. The vertical mast assembly 456 is configured to rest horizontally on the support base 460 (p eg , in the support arms 468-1 and 468-2) when the chassis 452 is transported and to clear the second conveyor system 454 when the vertical mast assembly 456 is deployed in a straight or vertical operating position. The range of motion of the vertical mast assembly 456 can be extended from horizontal to slightly vertical (e.g. eg, more than a range of 90 degrees of motion) when deployed to consider angular misalignment due to differences in ground height, for example. The vertical mast assembly 456 can be formed from steel pipe, beam, channel, I beam, H beam, wide wing, universal beam, rolled steel beam or any other suitable material and shape.

The mast 4 88 can be held by the support arms 468-1 and 468-2 of the chassis 452 near the second end 466 of the chassis 452. The mast 488 is configured to support the first conveyor assembly 458 and to move between a horizontal position (figure 1) and a vertical position (figure 2) by means of the actuator system 490 to raise the first conveyor assembly 458 to the vertical position and to associate the first conveyor assembly 458 with a modular silo as will be described with reference to Figure 5 below.

The mast 488 may be provided with a frame 492 that includes a first end 494, a second end 496, a first support arm 498-1 extending between the first end 4 94 and the second end 4 96 and a second arm of support 498-2 extending between the first end 494 and the second end 496. The first support arm 498-1 and the second support arm 498-2 may be separated in a parallel orientation and configured to jointly hold the first conveyor assembly 458 as will be described below.

The actuator system 490 connects the mast 488 and at least one of the support arms 468-1 and 486-2 of the chassis 452 to move the mast 488 in an arc-shaped path to move the first conveyor assembly 458 between the positions horizontal and vertical. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the actuator system 490 may include various actuators 500-1 and 500-2 that work together to move the mast 488 from the lateral position to the vertical position. However, it will be understood that actuator system 490 can be implemented as a single actuator 500 or any number of actuators 500. Actuators 500 can be implemented as hydraulic actuators, actuators

may

As shown to be connected in Fig. 3, the support frame 504 movably to the mast 488 by one or more mechanical connections 506 attached to the mast 488 and one or more actuators 508 configured to slide or move the support frame 5 04 with respect of the first end 4 94 of the mast 488 within a predetermined range. In some embodiments, 508 actuators can be implemented as hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. It will be understood that mechanical connections 506 can be implemented in various ways, for example railings (as shown in the figure

3) hydraulic or pneumatic arms, gears, endless gear connectors, cables or combinations of these.

With reference to Figures 4-5, the first conveyor 502 may include an inlet 510 and an upper discharge portion 512. The inlet 510 may be located near and / or below the third conveyor 486 of the second conveyor system 4 54 so that a volume of material from the oil field transported by the third conveyor 486 of the second conveyor system 454 enters the first conveyor 502 through the inlet 510.

The upper discharge portion 512 may include a discharge duct 514 which may be a double discharge duct configured to fill two or more modular silos 516 simultaneously, for example by having two or more outlets 517 operatively connected with two or more receiving ducts 518 of the modular silos 516. In some embodiments, the discharge duct 514 may include an integrated diverter valve 520 (e.g. eg, a three position diverter valve) to allow the discharge duct 514 to fill one, two or more of two modular silos 516 as those skilled in the art will appreciate.

For example, as shown in Figure 4, the support frame 504 may include one or more members connected to the optional silo 522, which can be implemented as hooks, L-shaped protuberances, flanges or combinations thereof. The members connected to the silo 522 can be configured to connect the corresponding members fixed to the corresponding frame 524 formed in the modular silos 516, so that the support frame 504 and the first conveyor 502 can be securely attached or associated with the modular silos 516. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, in some embodiments of the disclosure members connected to silo 522 and / or members fixed to frame 524 may be omitted.

Referring again to Figure 1, in some embodiments an optional power supply system 526 can be implemented with the mobile oil reservoir material transfer unit 450 and may be configured to power the actuator system 490, the first conveyor 502 and 508 actuators. However, in some embodiments the power supply system 526 can be omitted and the actuator system 490, the first conveyor assembly 458 and the actuators 508 can be powered by any desirable energy source, for example a power source associated with the 516 modular silos, a different generator, a power line connected to a network or a power source, and combinations of these. Some examples of types of energy sources include, but are not limited to, electric power, natural gas, liquid fuel and the like. In some embodiments when the power supply system 526 is provided with the mobile oil reservoir material transfer unit 450, the power supply system 526 is preferably sized and positioned on the support base 460 so as not to interfere with the operation and movement of the vertical mast assembly 456 and the second conveyor system 454.

With reference to Figure 6, a moving mobile oil reservoir material transfer unit 450 can operate in the following manner: the truck 36 moves back the chassis 452 near one or more modular silos 516 (e.g., a cooperation unit of two or more modular silos 516). When the truck 36 has been disconnected from the chassis 452, the gooseneck portion 462 can be manipulated to be grounded and generally coplanar with the support base 460 to form a ramp and allow a transport trailer Oil reservoir material 528 is driven or supported on support base 460. The vertical mast assembly 456 is raised to the vertical position to further raise the first conveyor assembly 458 to the vertical position. Actuators 508 can be operated to raise the first conveyor 502 to the upper limit of the predetermined range of motion of the actuators 508, by moving the frame of

<td>support</td><td> 504</td><td>respect</td><td>from first end 494</td><td>of the</td><td>488 mast</td>

modular 516 as necessary (e.g., in three dimensions, for example by moving chassis 452, assembling or aligning the second end 466 of chassis 452 with modular silos 516 and / or by collapse of a chassis suspension 452 to position the discharge duct 514 to connect it to the receiving ducts 518. The actuators 508 can be operated to lower the first conveyor 502 over the modular silos 516 so that the discharge duct 514 connects the receiving ducts 518. Optionally, lowering the first conveyor 502 can also cause the members connected to the silo 522 to connect with the members fixed to the corresponding frame 524, so that the support frame 504 of the first conveyor assembly 458 is securely attached or associated with the modular silos 516 causing the discharge ducts 514 to be aligned with the receiving ducts 518 of the modular silos.

The oil reservoir material transport trailer 528 can be supported on the chassis 452, so that the discharge openings (not shown) of the oil reservoir material transport trailer 528 are located on the second transported 484 of the second conveyor system 454 and aligned vertically with it. While a volume of oilfield material is thrown, unloaded or deposited (e.g. eg, by gravity) in the second conveyor system 454, the oil field material is moved by the second conveyor 484 to the third conveyor 486. The third conveyor 486 is optional since the second conveyor 484 can transport the material from the oil field directly to the first conveyor 502. The third conveyor 486 continues to move the volume of material from the oil field to the second end 466 of the chassis 452. Once the volume of the material from the oil field reaches the first conveyor 502, the material from the oil field enters the inlet 510 of the first conveyor 502. The volume of material from the oil field is transported up by the first conveyor 502 and is deposited in the modular silos 516 through the discharge duct 514 and the receiving ducts 518.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, the second conveyor system 454 can be rotated laterally from the support base 460 at any suitable angle and the oil reservoir material transport trailer 528 may be located on the second conveyor system 454 without be supported on chassis 452 as shown in figure 5, as those skilled in the art who benefit from the disclosure will appreciate.

Referring to FIG. 7, in another embodiment, the second conveyor system 454 includes a rotating conveyor assembly 530 instead of the discharge conduit 514. The rotating conveyor assembly 530 includes a conveyor 532 that can be attached to a cover and / or support frame that extends around the first conveyor 502 with a horizontal adjustment assembly and a vertical adjustment assembly. The horizontal adjustment assembly may include a mechanical connection with a pivot connection or multiple pivot connections that work together to provide a range of movement of the conveyor 532 in a horizontal path that can range from approximately 0 degrees to approximately 180 degrees as shown. by an arrow 534. The conveyor assembly 530 may also include a vertical adjustment assembly (not shown) that includes a mechanical connection to provide a range of motion of the conveyor 532 in a horizontal path that can range between about 0 degrees and about 120 degrees as shown by an arrow 536. The horizontal and vertical adjustment assemblies may include one or more actuators to carry out the movement

they provide movement between a stowed position where the conveyor 532 extends substantially parallel to the first conveyor 502 and an extended position where the conveyor 532 extends laterally away from the first conveyor 502. The conveyor 532 can be implemented as a feeder or a double conveyor belt closed track in some modalities of the disclosure and can be rotated by one or more actuators (not shown). The conveyor 532 may operate similarly to the discharge duct 514 and may be coupled with one or more receiving ducts 518 of the modular silos 516 in a manner
