    Abstract: A monitoring system may include a strain gauge, a position sensor, and a torque sensor. The strain gauge may measure strain in a chamber of the pressure pump and generate a strain signal representing the strain measurement. The position sensor may measure a position of a rotating member and generate a position signal representing the position measurement. The torque sensor may measure torque in a component of the pressure pump and generate a torque signal representing the torque measurement. The torque measurement may be used with the strain measurement and the position measurement to determine a condition of the pressure pump.

    Abstract: A pump monitoring system for use in wellbore operations includes a strain gauge that can be positioned on a fluid end of a pump and at least one pressure transducer to measure relative pressure. A computing device can be connected to the strain gauge and the pressure transducers. The computing device executes programming instructions to identify failures of specific valves by correlating the strain signal to an actual pressure associated with the specific valve in the pump section. The processor then determines whether a pump pressure corresponds to the actual pressure associated with the specific valve, and if so, displays an indication that the specific valve in the pump section has failed.

    Abstract: A monitoring system for a plurality of pressure pumps may include, for each pump, a strain gauge, a position sensor and a pressure transducer. A strain gauge may be positionable on each pump to generate a strain measurement corresponding to strain in each pump. A position sensor may be positionable on each pump to generate a position measurement corresponding to a position of a rotating member corresponding of each pump. A pressure transducer is positionable on each pump to generate a boost pressure measurement that is usable with the strain measurement and the position measurement to determine a cavitation threshold for each pump.

    Abstract: A monitoring system may include a position sensor, strain gauges, and a computing device for monitoring valves in a wellbore pressure pump having multiple chambers to determine cavitation in the fluid end of the wellbore pressure pump using strain measurements for each chamber. The strain gauges may determine strain in each chamber of the pressure pump. The position sensor may determine the position of a crankshaft mechanically coupled to a plunger in each chamber. The computing device may receive signals generated by the strain gauges and the position sensor related to the strain in each chamber and the position of the crankshaft, respectively, and may process the signals to determine delays in the actuation of the valves for identifying cavitation and distinguishing cavitation conditions from alternative conditions in the fluid end.

    Abstract: A sealing system for a well valve includes a valve closure, a valve closure carrier, and seal elements. The valve closure includes a central bore. The valve closure carrier includes an annular, metal sealing surface in contact with the exterior of the valve closure to form a metal-to-metal seal with the valve closure. The valve closure carrier defines two flow holes, each of which communicates with the central bore when the valve closure is open to flow fluid, and is sealed from the central bore by the sealing surface when the valve closure is closed. The first seal element seals between the valve closure carrier and the valve closure, and surrounds the first flow hole. The second seal element seals between the valve closure carrier and the valve closure, and surrounds the first seal element and an end opening of the central bore when the valve closure is closed.

    Abstract: A wellbore fluid pressure measurement system includes a densometer adapted to measure a fluid density of a fluid flowing in a tubing system; and a monitoring unit communicably coupled to the densometer. The monitoring unit is adapted to receive a plurality of values representative of the fluid density from the densometer and includes a memory adapted to store the plurality of values representative of the fluid density; and one or more processors operable to execute a fluid pressure measurement module. The module is operable when executed to determine a fluid pressure of the fluid based on at least a portion of the values representative of the fluid density.

    Abstract: A hose for a reciprocating pump, the hose comprising: a first end and a second end separated by a length (L) along a centerline of the hose, wherein the first end reciprocates with a reciprocating element of the reciprocating pump during operation of the reciprocating pump; an inner surface and an outer surface separated by a thickness; and a variable bend radius wherein a bend radius of a first section of the hose is different from a bend radius of at least one second section of the hose, such that, during operation of the reciprocating pump, a stress on the first end of the hose, the second end of the hose, or both the first end of the hose and the second end of the hose is reduced relative to that of a hose that does not contain the variable bend radius.
