Fracturing device
A fracturing device, including a power unit, wherein the power unit comprises a muffling compartment, a turbine engine, an air intake unit, and a starter; the air intake unit is communicated with the turbine engine through an intake pipe, and configured to provide a combustion-supporting gas to the turbine engine; the air intake unit is located at the top of the muffling compartment, the muffling compartment comprises an accommodation space, the turbine engine and the starter are located in the accommodation space, and the starter is configured to start the turbine engine, the starter comprises a first electric motor.
Predictive pressure protection system
Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for providing a predictive pressure protection system. Flare sources, performance limits, and relationships between control valves and relief valves are established. A flare simulator is generated using piping isometric drawings. An emergency event is monitored, and information for the emergency event is filtered based on a control valve limit breach. Event start and finish time periods are divided into cases representing smaller time frames. Source max loads are determined for each case, and each case is run through the flare simulator. Flare/relief valve performance indicators are determined based on the source max loads after running each case.

System and Method for Preventing an Explosion of a Caldera
A system and method of preventing an explosion of a natural caldera. The system includes an artificial caldera, formed by a spiral tunnel that extends from a surface of the earth to a position close to a surface of a magma plume of the natural caldera. A plurality of charges, such as tactical nuclear charges, are placed at positions along a length of the spiral tunnel, and detonated to form the artificial caldera. The method includes determining a center of the natural caldera, constructing the spiral tunnel, placing the plurality of charges within the spiral tunnel at fixed intervals, and detonating the plurality of charges simultaneously. Detonation of the plurality of charges opens the artificial caldera and allows magma thereunder to be controllably released through the artificial caldera. In this manner, a pressure of the magma is reduced, and a cataclysmic explosion of the natural caldera is mitigated.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING GAS FLOW
A well system and method including applying suction to a wellhead housing outlet (8) to divert the flow of subterranean gas from flowing through a gas conduit through the wellhead housing (4). An operation can then safely be performed on a component (e.g. removing a hanger) of the wellhead apparatus. Well gas can be diverted to a flare system (200). Suction can be applied by a venturi system including eductors (104,106). The method may include opening the gas conduit outlet once a pressure sensed at the conduit outlet is negative. Suction may also be applied to an upper outlet (14).
