MOBILE, MODULAR, ELECTRICALLY POWERED SYSTEM FOR USE IN FRACTURING UNDERGROUND FORMATIONS

摘要

The present invention provides a method and system for providing on-site electrical power to a fracturing operation, and an electrically powered fracturing system. Natural gas can be used to drive a turbine generator in the production of electrical power. A scalable, electrically powered fracturing fleet is provided to pump fluids for the fracturing operation, obviating the need for a constant supply of diesel fuel to the site and reducing the site footprint and infrastructure required for the fracturing operation, when compared with conventional systems.

主权项

1. A method of delivering fracturing fluid to a wellbore, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a dedicated source of electric power at a site containing a wellbore to be fractured; providing one or more electric fracturing modules at the site, the electric fracturing module comprising an electric motor and a coupled fluid pump, the electric motor operatively associated with the dedicated source of electric power; providing the fracturing fluid for pressurized delivery to a wellbore; and operating the fracturing modules using electric power from the dedicated source to pump the fracturing fluid to the wellbore.
