Abstract: Introduced herein are system and method for precisely determining the actual location of a standing wave created within a wellbore as well as other key properties about the created wave. The introduced system and method utilize a fiber optic sensing system, such as fiber optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system, that actively interrogates and monitors fiber optic sensors along the length of a wellbore. The introduced system and method generate one or more pressure pulses that combine with one another to create a standing wave within a wellbore and process the acoustic response of the standing wave using the fiber optic DAS system over a wide range of frequencies. Based on the measurements, the introduced system and method determine the actual location of the created standing wave and move it to a desired location within the wellbore by adjusting one or more properties of the pressure pulses.

Abstract: A system is provided including at least one pump for pumping a fluid into a wellbore, a pressure sensor provided at a wellhead of the wellbore for measuring a backpressure of the fluid being pumped into the wellbore, and a diagnostic manager. The diagnostic manager obtains pressure data associated with a pressure signal from the pressure sensor, wherein the pressure data includes pressure measurements of the fluid over a selected time period. The diagnostic manager converts, based on the pressure data, at least a portion of the pressure signal into frequency domain. The diagnostic manager detects a change in frequency of the pressure signal in the Fourier spectrum and determines that a fault associated with the wellbore has occurred based on the changed frequency of the pressure signal.

Abstract: Multi-well fracture control incorporates physical well properties into a model for fracture geometry to determine optimal mitigation techniques for well interference effects. Sensors in a monitoring well and a treatment well measure well properties during fluid injection and pumping in the treatment well. The measurement data is used to constrain fracture geometry model. The fracture geometry model is then used to calculate fracture growth rates and direction which are used to calculate an estimated time for the occurrence of well interference effects in the multi-well system. From the fracture geometry model, fracture growth rates and direction, and the estimated time for the occurrence of well interference, locations of potential well interference effects are predicted. A mitigation strategy is planned based on the predicted location and time of well interference events. Treatment actions can be taken in anticipation of the well interference events.

Abstract: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, a hybrid drive system that uses multiple sources of mechanical energy to drive a pump is provided. The hybrid drive system may include a first mover for generating first mechanical energy, a pump, a drivetrain for providing first mechanical energy from the first mover to the pump, and a second mover within the drivetrain to generate and provide second mechanical energy to the pump. The multiple sources of mechanical energy may provide flexibility with respect to system design and allow for alternative sources of fuel and energy to be used to drive pumping systems. This may reduce the total diesel fuel consumption necessary to perform a well stimulation operation as well as provide for configurations in which diesel engines may be excluded from the pumping process in favor of alternative energy sources that typically do not have sufficient torque capacity to power a pump.

Abstract: Green hydrogen and solid carbon can be produced by reacting captured methane with a catalyst in a reaction chamber. A liquid base fluid can form a continuous phase within the reaction chamber with a plurality of liquid metal carrier droplets dispersed in the base fluid. The catalyst can be nano-sized particles that can coat the surfaces of the carrier droplets. Agitation can be supplied to the reaction chamber to maintain dispersion of the liquid metal carrier droplets and increase contact of the methane and catalyst particles. The reaction temperature can be less than the temperature required for water electrolysis or steam methane reforming processes. The green hydrogen and solid carbon can be used as a power source for wellsite equipment in the form of fuel cells to generate electricity or power or used to charge batteries.

Abstract: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, a system and method for using fuel cells to generate electricity for powering well stimulation equipment (e.g., high pressure hydraulic pumping units) at a well stimulation site are provided. The fuel cells may be coupled to the stimulation equipment via a DC/AC converter and, in some embodiments, via a variable frequency drive (VFD). The fuel cells may be arranged in a fuel cell stack that is used to generate electricity to power various electrical devices (e.g., electric motors) on the equipment. The fuel cells generally operate at higher efficiencies than is available through the use of diesel engines. In addition, the fuel cells may require less frequent refueling and provide a more centrally located area for refueling, lower emissions, and quieter operations than are currently available using diesel engines.
