Method of Delivering, Transporting, and Storing Proppant for Delivery and Use at a Well Site |
摘要 |
A method of delivering proppant to a well site has the steps of transporting a load of proppant in a vessel to a desired location, moving the load of proppant from the vessel into a container so as to create a proppant-loaded container, unloading the proppant-loaded container into a pneumatic bulk trailer, and transporting the unloaded proppant in the pneumatic bulk trailer to well site. The container is placed onto a bed of a truck and moved in proximity to the vessel. The proppant-loaded container is placed onto a tilting mechanism and then tilted so that the proppant is discharged through a flow gate of a container into a hopper. The proppant in the hopper can then be conveyed to the pneumatic bulk trailer. |

1. A method of loading and transporting proppant, the method comprising:
a) positioning a plurality of empty proppant containers, each located on a respective proppant transport road vehicle, in close proximity to a rail spur so that each of the plurality of empty proppant containers underlies a source of proppant received from rail cars on the rail spur, each of the plurality of empty containers including at least a first end surface and at least a second different end surface and each of the first and second end surfaces having a plurality of upright structural support members thereon to enhance integrity of the container for stacking and so that heavy weight from the proppant can be stored therein; b) filling the plurality of empty proppant containers with proppant thereby to produce a plurality of proppant filled containers; c) transferring the plurality of proppant filled containers with one or more proppant transporting road vehicles to a drill site; and d) unloading each of the plurality of proppant filled containers with an unloader. |
