Benefits of technology

The patent describes an improved apparatus for pumping and applying dense fluids such as grout and epoxy materials. The apparatus includes a multi-pump unit with at least two motorized pumps, each with a stator and stator exit. The pumps are operable to inject the dense fluid through stator exits and adjustable hoses. The apparatus can provide for a multiple discharge and placement of the dense fluid, and can be used with epoxy grout material. The base can be a concrete base. The technical effects of the patent include improved pumping efficiency, greater flexibility, and better fluid placement control.

Problems solved by technology

In many intervention operations, flow paths may be restricted, which may make fluid placement difficult.

Abstract

A multi-pump apparatus can include a pump unit including two or more motorized pumps, wherein each of the two or more motorized pumps can include a stator and a stator exit. The multi-pump apparatus can further include a plurality of stator exits including each stator exit of each stator of the two or more motorized pumps, and a group of adjustable hoses, wherein the two or more motorized pumps of the pump unit are operable to inject a dense fluid from the plurality of stator exits through the group of adjustable hoses.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]Embodiments are related to devices for pumping and applying dense fluids such as grout and epoxy materials. Embodiments also relate to pumping devices and methods used in oil and gas applications, and in the construction industry. Embodiments further relate to a multi-pump apparatus.BACKGROUND[0002]Grouting applications are used in a variety of fields including but not limited to the oil and gas industries. In the process of applying grout and other types of dense fluids such an epoxy grout, it is important that correct and efficiently operating equipment is used to fill all gaps and penetrate the necessary vacant spaces to provide the finished job with the necessary strength and durability along with waterproofing qualities.[0003]In the oil and gas industry in particular, well interventions are sometimes necessary to address a broad range of goals including, for example, the repair of a failed barrier in a well, which may be required to return the well to produ...
