Definitions

  • This disclosure relates in general to linear pumps, and more particularly to electrically-actuated linear pumps for use in oil and natural gas extraction.
  • fracturing fluid i.e., cement, mud, frac sand and other material
  • fracturing fluid i.e., cement, mud, frac sand and other material
  • One commonly used pump in hydraulic fracturing is a high pressure reciprocating pump, like the SPM® DestinyTM TWS 2500 frac pump or the SPM® QEM 3000 Continuous Duty Frac Pump, manufactured by S.P.M. Flow Control, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas.
  • the fracturing fluid is caused to flow into and out of a pump fluid chamber as a consequence of the reciprocation of piston-like plungers, each respectively moving away from and toward the fluid chamber.
  • the pressure inside the chamber decreases, creating a differential pressure across an inlet valve, drawing the fracturing fluid through the inlet valve into the chamber.
  • the pressure inside the chamber substantially increases, which closes the inlet valve, and the pressure continues to increase until the differential pressure across an outlet valve causes the outlet valve to open, enabling the highly pressurized fracturing fluid to discharge through the outlet valve into the wellbore.
  • a typical frac unit is powered with a diesel engine driving a frac pump through a multispeed transmission.
  • the rotational energy transferred to the reciprocating frac pump is channeled to horizontal plunger bores for pumping via crankshaft and conrods.
  • the operating conditions are often extreme involving high fluid flow and high operating pressures (oftentimes up to 15,000 psi). Pressure fluctuations as seen in diesel powered units or other internal combustion based units often cause undesirable cyclic stresses on components, shortening their lives.
  • Linear pumps may be employed in oilfield operations.
  • PCT Patent App. Publication No. WO 2019/007774 of RSM Imagineering AS, and entitled“ADual-Acting Pressure Boosting Liquid Partition Device, System, Fleet and Use,” filed on June 27, 2018 discloses a hydraulic linear pump, where hydraulic fluid displaces a rod to actuate a dual-acting pump.
  • This disclosure presents an electrically-actuated linear pump powered by an electric motor, a system using two or more such pumps, and a method implementing such a system to provide a uniform pumping flow rate.
  • Reciprocating pumps have many moving parts as do the power systems that drive them. Replacing reciprocating pumps and their associated drive systems with electrically- actuated linear pumps actuated electrically through a planetary roller screw drive provides many advantages. The linear pumping action is created by the movement of the screw through the electrically driven planetary drive.
  • An electrically-actuated linear pump includes a linear actuator housing coupled to a screw housing.
  • a rod is configured to linearly translate within the screw housing.
  • the rod includes a threaded portion disposed axially between a first plunger portion and a second plunger portion.
  • a linear actuator is disposed within the linear actuator housing and includes a drive mechanism in meshed engagement with the threaded portion of the rod, the meshed engagement operable to linearly translate the rod, the linear actuator being electrically- actuated.
  • the pump includes a first fluid end and a second fluid end disposed opposite the first fluid end, each fluid end configured to receive and discharge a fluid. Translation of the rod toward the first fluid end discharges the fluid from the first fluid end and simultaneously draws the fluid into the second fluid end.
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of an electrically-actuated linear pump system employing three electrically-actuated linear pumps.
  • FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C are schematic diagrams illustrating plunger displacement of an embodiment of a pump of the electrically-actuated linear pump system of FIG. 1.
  • FIG3. 3 is a schematic diagram of components of a linear actuator and planetary gear train of an electrically-actuated linear pump according to the teachings of the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a power system that may be employed to provide electric power to an electrically-actuated linear pump according to the teachings of the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an embodiment of an electrically-actuated linear pump according to the teachings of the present disclosure.
  • This disclosure presents an electrically-actuated linear pump, a system having an array thereof, and a control method using such pump(s) to provide a constant or steady output flow rate.
  • traditional reciprocating pumps many moving parts are involved, including the moving parts in the power systems that drive the reciprocating pumps.
  • the power systems are often driven by an internal combustion engine.
  • efficiency and maintenance costs are high.
  • the present disclosure instead utilizes electrically-actuated linear pumps to simplify the overall system complexity while maintaining power and reliability. This improves the overall efficiency as well as reducing maintenance costs or downtime.
  • the systems can be made less expensive, more reliable, and lighter.
  • the electrically-actuated linear pumps use a planetary gear train (e.g., planetary gears surrounding a threaded rod to convert rotational motion of the planetary gears to the linear translation movement of the threaded rod) to linearly move (i.e., translate) plunger rods.
  • the planetary gear train is powered by at least one electric motor, instead of the traditional diesel engines.
  • the electricity supplied to the planetary gear train may be provided from the grid or produced by an onsite generator using local natural gas, thus minimizing operation fueling costs.
  • the linearly moving plunger rod may use both ends and couple with two fluid ends.
  • Such configuration provides a redundant pumping axis as well as making the overall system lighter, which makes transport easier.
  • This arrangement also eliminates the use of a diesel engine, the transmission attached thereon, and the cooling system associated therewith, as well as the pump power end.
  • the electric linear pumps may be powered by natural gas electric generators, such as gas turbine generators, thus minimizing energy losses during conversion.
  • the natural gas electric generators also produce less emission pollutants and less noise than diesel engines.
  • the linearly moving plunger rod has a much longer stroke length than the traditional plungers powered by diesel engines. In this way, maintenance costs are reduced because the number of valve reversals for a given pump flow rate is reduced. Similarly, the long stroke length also reduces the number of pressure cycles on the fluid ends for a given flow rate. Less cycles results in greater reliability and fewer failures of components.
  • the electric actuator may be one or more motors that provide rotational motion to a planetary gear train designed to drive a threaded rod linearly along its axis.
  • the threaded rod includes plunger sections on both ends such that when the rod moves in either direction, one of the two ends will pump out fluids while the other draws in fluids.
  • the electric actuator may be in the form of a winding that uses electric current to create a magnetic field to move the rod along its axis (e.g., similar to solenoid actuation).
  • a fluid end is coupled with each of the two plunger ends to control fluid charging on the suction stroke and pressure discharge on the power stroke.
  • electrical actuation of the pumping element allows for a large variation of stroke lengths, such as from 1 meters to 3.5 meters, for example 2 meters. Longer stroke length provides an advantage by reducing the number of fluid end valve reversals and fluid cylinder pressure cycles on the fluid cylinder for a given flow rate or a given quantity to be pumped.
  • the electric drive can provide sufficient rod load to create 15,000 psi with existing frac plunger sizes.
  • the disclosed system and control method includes a control module, that is enabled using a computer with associated software installed therein, to provide smooth flow output as well as minimized fluid pulsation.
  • the pumping power may be in excess of 4000 hydraulic horsepower.
  • the plunger diameter may be up to 7.5”.
  • the rod loads may be greater than 200,000 pounds-force.
  • multiple pump units such as from three to six units, may be used for redundancy and may be configured to maintain a constant or steady output flow (i.e., smooth output).
  • different plunger sizes and fluid end sizes e.g., different product families
  • the electric linear pump have a stroke length of approximately 2 meters.
  • the motor used in the linear electric pump may be a permanent magnet synchronous motor.
  • the bearing may be a spherical axial thrust bearing.
  • the planetary gears may directly drive a threaded plunger rod without additional transmission assemblies.
  • the electrically-actuated linear pump may have one or more sensors to measure the rotary position of the motors, and/or components of a drive mechanism, such as a gear ring, and/or the planetary gear train to determine position, speed, or other information of the plunger rod. This may be an improvement over hydraulically-actuated linear pumps where rotational position cannot be measured and converted to a known linear position of the plunger rod.
  • the motors, gear ring, planetary gears, bearings, and the threaded rods may be enclosed within a housing for lubrication and cooling purposes. Cooling system is provided for both the electric motor and the driven gears thereof.
  • a logic control unit LCU may be used to accurately control the rotation of the motors and provide control according to control signals per control algorithm or programs. Detailed examples are provided below.
  • FIG. 1 is a top view of an electrically-actuated linear pump system 100 employing three electrically-actuated linear pumps 101, 102, and 103 arranged in an example configuration to be carried on a trailer.
  • the pump system 100 may be laid flat on the trailer bed, which may be 48 feet in length and up to 8.5 feet in width (oversized configurations are possible).
  • the electrically-actuated linear pumps 101, 102, and 103 may be controlled to work in parallel by a common controller to produce a smooth output flow of fluids.
  • the smooth output flow of fluids may be produced by shifting or adjusting individual speeds, phases, and/or flow rates of each of the electrically-actuated linear pumps 101, 102, and 103.
  • Each of the electrically-actuated linear pumps 101, 102, 103 includes a linear actuator housing 10 disposed at the center of the pump 101.
  • the components on each side of the linear actuator housing 10 may be the same such that the pump 101 is a double-acting pump, and is either in a suction phase or a discharge phase, depending on the direction of displacement of the respective plungers.
  • a left side of the electrically-actuated linear pump 101 includes a plunger housing 12a coupled to the linear actuator housing 10, and a fluid end 14a coupled to the plunger housing 12a.
  • a right side of the electrically-actuated linear pump 101 includes a plunger housing 12b, coupled to the linear actuator housing 10, and a fluid end 14b coupled to the plunger housing 12b.
  • the pumps 101, 102, and 103 are shown in a staggered configuration, with the middle pump 102 position slightly forward of the pumps 101 and 103, but the pumps could also be configured as one pump 102 stacked on top of the other two pumps 101 and 103.
  • FIGS. 2 A, 2B, and 2C are schematic diagrams of the right side of the electrically actuated linear pump 101 shown in cross-section to illustrate the inner workings of the pump 101.
  • the left side is identical, and thus the right side description applies to the left side.
  • FIG. 2A shows a double-acting rod 16 in a centered, neutral configuration.
  • the double-acting rod 16 is linearly displaced along its axis by a linear actuator, for example a motor driven planetary gear train, as described in further detail below.
  • FIG. 2B shows the double-acting rod 16 displaced towards the left fluid end 14a and away from the right fluid end 14b.
  • FIG. 2B shows pumping fluid from the left fluid end 14a in a power stroke and drawing fluid into the right fluid end 14b in a suction stroke.
  • FIG. 2C shows the pump 101 with the double-acting rod 16 displaced toward the right fluid end 14b, and away from the left fluid end 14a, such that the fluid is pumped from the right fluid end 14b and simultaneously drawn in the left fluid end 14a.
  • the plunger rod 16 has a total length of 7.5 meters operating at a 2 meters stroke.
  • the electric motor(s) 24 uses a planetary gear train (also referred to as a planetary screw drive) to move the threaded center portion.
  • the displacement of the double-acting rod 16 is considerably greater than the displacement of a plunger in a reciprocating pump, thus the pump 101 cycles fewer times to produce a similar flow rate. Fewer cycles on the pump reduces wear on certain components.
  • the double-acting rod 16 may have a displacement stroke of approximately two meters either to the left or to the right. Different length strokes are contemplated by this disclosure.
  • plunger sizes require more power to pump at a given pressure.
  • Different plunger sizes may be employed to increase flow rate (larger diameter plungers) or to increase pumping pressure (smaller diameter plungers).
  • the longer the stroke of a linear pump the more power it is able to convert to pumping power (or fluid power) because each time the pumping axis reverses direction, the axis needs to ramp down in speed, stop, and then ramp back up in speed. During this time of reversal, the power is limited to an average of about 50% of the full rating. However, when the axis reaches its maximum constant speed the power output is 100% of the full rating.
  • the maximum stroke of an axis can be limited by its buckling strength, or at least limited to the maximum length of the trailer.
  • the shorter the stroke of an axis the faster the pump needs to cycle to create the same rate as a longer stroke.
  • Higher numbers of reversals are less efficient and also create more pressure cycles on valves, seats, packing, fluid ends, etc.
  • reversing direction too quickly can create high peak motor current which shortens the life of the electric motor.
  • the life of the roller screw assembly such as the drive mechanism described in more detail below, is a balance between load and speed.
  • the double acting rod 16 includes a screw portion 18 (also referred to as a threaded portion, a screw, or a screw portion) coupled on respective ends to a left plunger portion and a right plunger portion 20.
  • the plunger portions 20 may be integral with the screw portion 18.
  • the plunger portions 20 may be mechanically or otherwise joined to the screw portion 18.
  • the screw housing 22 protects the screw portion 18 from damage and other environmental hazards that may interfere with the operation of the screw portion 18.
  • the screw housing 22 may be integral with the linear actuator housing 10.
  • the screw housing 22 may be formed separately and mechanically secured to the linear actuator housing 10.
  • the respective plunger housings 12a, 12b are coupled to each end of the respective ends of the screw housing 22. Seals are positioned between the double acting rod 16 and the plunger housing 12a, 12b and/or the screw housing 22 to seal the screw housing 22 and the screw portion 18 from exposure to the fluid being received and discharged, for example hydraulic fracturing fluid, by the pump 101.
  • the linear actuator housing 10 houses and protects the components that drive the double acting rod 16, such as at least one electric motor 24 and components associated with a screw drive mechanism 26, such as a planetary gear train, as described in more detail with respect to FIG. 3.
  • This disclosure contemplates any suitable electrically-powered drive mechanism that is capable of linearly displacing the double-acting rod 16, for example one or more electric motors.
  • An overall length of the pump 101 including the fluid ends 14a, 14b may be approximately 11.5 meters.
  • the screw housing 22 may extend approximately 2 meters (or one stroke length) in each direction from the linear actuator housing 10, which may be approximately one meter in length along the axis of the rod 16.

  • Each fluid end extends about one meter from the plunger housings 12a, 12b.
  • a shorter or longer stroke length may shorten or lengthen the overall length of the pump 101.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the components within the linear actuator housing 10 with portions broken away to show the internal workings of the screw drive mechanism 26 and its interaction with the screw 18.
  • One or more electric motors 24 are supported and spaced circumferentially apart around the double acting rod 16. According to one embodiment, seven electric motors are circumferentially spaced apart about the rod 16, and more specifically about the screw portion 18 of the rod 16. Using multiple smaller motors 24 may be less expensive than using fewer, for example one, larger motor(s). The number of motors and their size may vary to fit the desired power and/or load.
