    Abstract: A diverter valve assembly includes a diverter valve. The diverter valve includes a housing having an inlet, multiple destination outlets, and a subsequent diverter valve outlet. The diverter valve also includes a rotary element disposed within the housing. The rotary element has an inlet, one or more target destination outlets, and a subsequent diverter valve outlet. Furthermore, the inlet of the rotary element is fluidly coupled to the inlet of the housing, the subsequent diverter valve outlet of the rotary element is fluidly coupled to the subsequent diverter valve outlet of the housing, and the rotary element is configured to rotate to selectively fluidly couple the one or more target destination outlets of the rotary element to one or more respective destination outlets of the housing.

    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein relate to processing produced oilfield brine by deconstructing it into two useful components: (1) desalinated water and (2) a suspension of solid state salt (e.g., crystallized salt) slurried in a salt saturated brine, which may be formulated and injected into hydrocarbon producing for mations above hydraulic fracturing pressure to intentionally create regions of localized high stress within the respective formations. In addition, systems and methods presented herein relate to processing oilfield brine received from hydrocarbon producing wells by : (1) coupling high pressure desalination technologies with saltwater disposal (SWD) operations, (2) active management of SWD water composition at the rock face through dual stream (e.g., split stream) injection, and /or (3) coupled SWD injection, flow assurance, and stimulation to minimize SWD formation damage and injection pressures.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for measuring backlash of a gear train of a pump unit for pumping a fluid. An example method may include locking a crankshaft of the pump unit such that the crankshaft cannot rotate. The method may further include commencing operation of a processing device to receive rotational position measurements indicative of rotational position of an output shaft of a prime mover, cause the prime mover to rotate the output shaft in a first direction until the output shaft reaches a first rotational position, and cause the prime mover to rotate the output shaft in a second direction until the output shaft reaches a second rotational position. The processing device may then determine backlash of the gear train by determining rotational distance between the first rotational position of the output shaft and the second rotational position of the output shaft.

    Abstract: Fracturing fluid delivery systems having components with sacrificial liners or sleeves are provided. In one example, a fracturing system includes a flexible fracturing fluid conduit coupled to a wellhead assembly. The flexible fracturing fluid conduit includes a flexible body, a rigid end joined to the flexible body, and a bore extending through the flexible body and the rigid end for conveying fracturing fluid to the wellhead assembly. The flexible fracturing fluid conduit also includes a rigid sacrificial sleeve installed in the rigid end and within the bore. In another example, a fracturing system includes a fracturing fluid delivery apparatus coupled to a wellhead. The fracturing fluid delivery apparatus includes a pressure-containing component having a rigid body with a bore for conveying fracturing fluid. The pressure-containing component has a sacrificial liner provided through the bore along an interior surface of the rigid body. Additional systems, devices, and methods are disclosed.
