Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional fracturing equipment in the oil and gas industry occupies large areas, causes environmental pollution, and has high operation and maintenance costs, with power supply challenges at well-sites due to short operation cycles and the need for complex power system assembly, transportation, and installation.
Innovation Solution
A mobile power system integrated onto two transport vehicles, featuring a turbine generation transportation unit with a gas turbine and generator, and an exhaust auxiliary transportation unit with a gas turbine starter, allowing quick connection and starting in power failure conditions, reducing installation time and transport costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If a complete set of electric drive fracturing equipment is used, then environmental pollution is reduced and operation and maintenance costs are lowered, but power supply requirements at the operation site increase
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply system is divided into modular components (generator, exhaust system, control systems) that can be independently transported and assembled on-site, allowing the system to meet high power requirements while maintaining mobility and reducing environmental impact
2Adaptability or versatility
If fracturing equipment needs to be moved among different well-sites with short operation cycles, then adaptability is improved, but installation time increases to half to one month
Solution Approach 1:
The equipment is segmented into transportable modules that can be quickly assembled and disassembled, reducing installation time while maintaining the ability to operate at multiple well-sites
Solution Approach 2:
The power supply system is pre-assembled into integrated modules on transport vehicles, so that upon arrival at the well-site, only connection operations are needed rather than complete assembly, dramatically reducing installation time
3Adaptability or versatility
If various parts of the power supply system are assembled with different methods, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply system employs standardized interfaces and universal connection methods across all modules, allowing different parts to be assembled using the same procedures while maintaining adaptability to various operational requirements
