Methods and systems for integral storage and blending of the materials used in oilfield operations are disclosed. A modular integrated material blending and storage system includes a first module comprising a storage unit, a second module comprising a liquid additive storage unit and a pump for maintaining pressure at an outlet of the liquid additive storage unit. The system further includes a third module comprising a pre-gel blender. An output of each of the first module, the second module and the third module is located above a blender and gravity directs the contents of the first module, the second module and the third module to the blender. The system also includes a pump that directs the output of the blender to a desired down hole location. The pump may be powered by natural gas or electricity.

A flow back system for separating solids from a slurry recovered from a hydrocarbon well. The system includes a V-shaped tank with a first series of baffles configured to cause the settling of solids that are moved by a shaftless auger to a conduit fluidly connected to hydrocyclones mounted over a linear shaker. The overflow from the hydrocyclones is discharged through a second conduit back into the tank for processing by a second series of baffles resulting in a clean effluent. The clean effluent is recirculated in the well.

Methods and systems for gas separation of syngas applying differences in water solubilities of syngas components, the method including producing a product gas comprising hydrogen and carbon dioxide from a hydrocarbon fuel source; separating hydrogen from the product gas to create a hydrogen product stream and a byproduct stream by solubilizing components in water that are more soluble in water than hydrogen; injecting the byproduct stream into a reservoir containing mafic rock; and allowing components of the byproduct stream to react in situ with components of the mafic rock to precipitate and store components of the byproduct stream in the reservoir.

A method includes receiving, by a processing device and from one or more sensors coupled to a water reservoir storing water received from a separator, fluid information. The fluid information includes a water level of the water reservoir. The separator is fluidically coupled to a wellbore string disposed within a wellbore. The method also includes determining, based on the fluid information, operation mode instructions. The method also includes transmitting, to a controller communicatively coupled to at least one flow regulation device fluidically coupled to the wellbore string, the operation mode instructions. The controller controls, based on the instructions, the at least one flow regulation device to regulate, during a production mode of the wellbore string, a flow of production fluid from the wellbore string to the separator or regulating, during a water injection mode of the wellbore string, a flow of water from the water reservoir into the wellbore string.

A method for building an underground storehouse by dissolving limestone with carbon dioxide, the method comprising the following steps: a.) drilling two wells extending from the ground surface (1) to a limestone layer (2), building a channel (5) allowing the two wells to communicate, and installing casing pipes (3, 4) respectively in the two wells; b.) introducing CO.sub.2 gas having at least 1 MPa of pressure into a CO.sub.2 absorbing solution having the same pressure to form a CO.sub.2 solution, flowing the CO.sub.2 solution into underground via the casing pipe (3) to react with the limestone to form a calcium bicarbonate solution, forming a cavern in the meanwhile, and discharging the calcium bicarbonate solution via the other casing pipe (4); c.) decompressing the discharged calcium bicarbonate solution to decompose the calcium bicarbonate contained in the solution into CO.sub.2, water and calcium carbonate, and recycling the separated CO.sub.2 absorption solution and the CO.sub.2; repeating steps b.) and c.) until a cavern meeting design requirements is formed, and discharging the solution from the cavern to form the underground storehouse (6). Also disclosed is a device for building an underground storehouse by dissolving limestone with carbon dioxide, the device comprising a CO.sub.2 storage tank (7), an absorption tower (8), a crystallizer (11), a pressure relief valve (9), a gas-liquid separator (10), a vacuum pump (13), a buffer (14) and booster pumps (12, 15, 16).

The present invention provides a fissured substrata water pumping apparatus and methods thereof. The fissured substrata water pumping apparatus includes a water pumping pipe inserted into a drilled hole under a roadway floor; one or more unidirectional water-blocking plates configured inside the water pumping pipe; a servo pump; and an annular drainage siphon having a first end connected to an upper end of the water pumping pipe, and a second end connected to an inlet end of the servo pump through a valve.

An automated produced water treatment system that injects ozone or an ozone-oxygen mixture upstream of produced water separators, with the dose rate changing dynamically as the produced water quality changes, as determined by continuous monitoring of the produced water quality by a plurality of sensors that detect water quality parameters in real time. The system may operate as a “slipstream” injection system, that draws a portion of produced water from the produced water pipeline and injects ozone or an ozone-oxygen mixture back into the pipeline with disrupting or slowing normal operations. Disinfectants or other additives may also be injected.
