Benefits of technology

The patent describes a monitoring system for an oilfield additive system. This system includes components that transfer an additive-containing substance for injection into a wellbore. The monitoring system includes sensors that generate information related to the operational parameters of each component, and a monitoring device that records this information to create a database. This database can be used to maintain the oilfield additive system and its components. Overall, the monitoring system helps to ensure the proper operation and longevity of the oilfield additive system.

Problems solved by technology

Due to high frequency of use, high pressures, and abrasive properties of certain materials, portions of the additive systems may wear out and fail.
Such failures result in operation stoppages and severe damage to other components.
In some instances, oilfield operations may have to be repeated at large monetary costs and loss of production time.

Abstract

A monitoring system operable to monitor an oilfield additive system having multiple components. The oilfield additive system is operable to transfer an additive-containing substance for injection into a wellbore. The monitoring system includes sensors each associated with, and operable to generate information related to an operational parameter of, a corresponding one of the oilfield additive system components. The monitoring system also includes a monitoring device in communication with the sensors and operable to record the information generated by the sensors to generate a database. The database includes information indicative of maintenance aspects of the oil-field additive system and / or the oilfield additive system components.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 032,158, entitled “Prognosis and Health Management (PHM) Implementation on Additive Systems,” filed on Aug. 1, 2014, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]In oilfield operations, additive systems are utilized at wellsites to blend and / or inject additives or other material into a wellbore. Such operations may include drilling, cementing, acidizing, water jet cutting, and hydraulic fracturing of subterranean formations. In some additive systems, several pumps or other material transfer devices may be connected in parallel and / or in series to transfer the material from a storage container into the wellbore. Additive systems further include valves, actuators, flow meters, and / or mixing devices that facilitate the transfer and combining of the materials, while in solid and / or liquid fo...
