Problems solved by technology

In the past, such equipment was driven / started by a diesel engine, which could cause a lot of noise, pollution and expense on site
Electric drive systems have been considered as an alternative to diesel engines; however, such systems require a large number of pieces of equipment, extensive wiring and / or similar conduits, and often utilize on-site power generation, such as natural gas turbines
Turbine prime movers and similar equipment may not be suitable when using fracturing fluids that contain flammable components

Abstract

The disclosure contained herein describes systems, units, and methods usable to stimulate a formation including a pump usable to pressurize fluid, an electric-powered driver in communication with and actuating the pump, and an electrical power source in communication with and powering the electric-powered driver. The electrical power source can include on-site generators and/or grid power sources, and transformers can be used to alter the voltage received to a voltage suitable for powering the electric-powered driver. Air moving devices associated with the electric-powered driver can be used to provide air proximate to the pump to disperse gasses. In combination with fluid supply and/or proppant addition subsystems, the pump can be used to fracture a formation.

Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application 61 / 889,187, filed on October 10, 2013. [0003] This application also claims priority to US Non-Provisional Patent Application No. 14 / 199,461, filed March 3, 2013, and US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 915,093, filed December 12, 2013. [0004] All of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. technical field [0005] The present invention generally relates to systems, methods, apparatus, and compositions that may be used within a wellbore, and more particularly, to systems and methods for fracturing a formation to stimulate formation production (eg, production of hydrocarbons). Background technique [0006] In order to stimulate and / or increase the hydrocarbon production of a well, a process known as fracturing (commonly known as "fracing") is performed. In brief overview, a pressurized fluid - often water...
