A mobile chemical mixing plant includes an inlet for receiving fluid; a fluid conduit for conveying the fluid from the inlet; a container for containing a chemical therein; a chemical pump for withdrawing the chemical from the container and directing the chemical into the fluid conduit for mixing with the fluid in the fluid conduit to form a chemical mixture; and a homogenization pump for pumping the chemical mixture in the fluid conduit out of the mobile chemical mixing plant. The fluid conduit connects the chemical pump to the homogenization pump. The mobile chemical mixing plant is fixed to a trailer that is attachable to a vehicle. Because the fluid conduit directly connects the chemical pump to the homogenization pump, the mobile chemical mixing plant does not need an intervening mixing tank for mixing the fluid and the chemical.

The present invention provides a method and system for providing on-site electrical power to a fracturing operation, and an electrically powered fracturing system. Natural gas can be used to drive a turbine generator in the production of electrical power. A scalable, electrically powered fracturing fleet is provided to pump fluids for the fracturing operation, obviating the need for a constant supply of diesel fuel to the site and reducing the site footprint and infrastructure required for the fracturing operation, when compared with conventional systems.

An integrated system includes a desalination plant including a reverse osmosis (RO) array to produce an RO permeate blending stream and a nanofiltration (NF) array to produce an NF permeate blending stream. The integrated system also includes a blending system. Further, the integrated system includes a control unit. Still further, the integrated system includes an injection system for one or more injection wells that penetrate an oil-bearing layer of a reservoir. Moreover, the integrated system includes a production facility to separate fluids produced from one or more production wells that penetrate the oil-bearing layer of the reservoir and to deliver a produced water (PW) stream to the blending system. The blending system is configured to blend the RO permeate and NF permeate blending streams with the PW stream to produce a blended low salinity water stream. The control unit is configured to dynamically alter operation of the blending system to adjust amounts of at least one of the RO permeate blending stream and the NF permeate blending stream to maintain a composition of the blended low salinity water stream within a predetermined operating envelope.

A method may include supplying water for a mud mixture to a mixing tank according to a predetermined volume. The method may further include supplying, using a rheological sensor, a viscosifier to the mud mixture in the mixing tank until the mud mixture achieves one or more predetermined rheological values. The method may further include supplying, using a density sensor, a weighting agent to the mud mixture in the mixing tank until the mud mixture achieves a predetermined specific gravity value. The method may further include supplying, using a pH sensor, a buffering agent to the mud mixture in the mixing tank until the mud mixture achieves a predetermined pH value to produce a drilling fluid.

A wet frac-sand well site delivery system is a process and method of storing, measuring and regulating the percent solids or PPA (pounds of proppant added) in a sand slurry. The wet sand delivery system is a closed loop, on-site storage system that can receive and store wet frac-sand. The wet sand delivery system takes the wet sand directly from the wash plant and transports it to a wet sand storage pit. From the wet sand storage pit, the sand is pumped directly to a blender or regulator for mixing into a sand slurry for subsequent delivery to a frac pump.

An example fluid management system for generating a fluid for a treatment operation may include a mixer and a first portable container disposed proximate to and elevated above the mixer.
