Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to well operations. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a systems and methods for independently and/or simultaneously treating multiple wells from a centralized location using a split flow pumping system configuration. The split flow pumping system configuration may comprise one or more blenders, one or more boost pumps, a pumping system comprising one or more pumps, a component storage system, and a fluid storage system for treatment of two or more wells using two or more treatment compositions. The split flow pumping system configuration may comprise one or more controllers for controlling the one or more blenders, the one or more boost pumps, the pumping system comprising one or more pumps, the component storage system, and the fluid storage system. The system may comprise one or more sensors for collecting data corresponding to the one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition, wherein the controller controls the one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition based, at least in part, on the data.

Claims (42)

1. A system, comprising:

a component storage system comprising one or more components;

a blending system that produces a first composition comprising the one or more components and a second composition comprising the one or more components; and

a pumping system comprising a first one or more pumps, a second one or more pumps, a third one or more pumps, and a fourth one or more pumps,

wherein the first composition is pumped to a first one or more wells by the first one or more pumps,

wherein the first composition is pumped to a second one or more wells by the second one or more pumps,

wherein the second composition is pumped to the first one or more wells by the third one or more pumps, and

wherein the second composition is pumped to the second one or more wells by the fourth one or more pumps.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the blending system further comprises a first one or more blenders for producing the first composition and a second one or more blenders for producing the second composition.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising one or more sensors for sensing one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a controller for controlling one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition.

5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising one or more sensors for collecting data corresponding to the one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition, wherein the controller controls the one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition based, at least in part, on the data.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first composition combines with the second composition to create a first treatment composition for treatment of the first one or more wells, and wherein the first composition combines with the second composition to create a second treatment composition for treatment of the second one or more wells.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first treatment composition is created at one or more of the surface of the first one or more wells and below ground level in the first one or more wells, and wherein the second treatment composition is created at one or more of the surface of the second one or more wells and below ground level in the second one or more wells.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the pumping system simultaneously treats the first one or more wells with the first treatment composition and treats the second one or more wells with the second treatment composition.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the first composition has a different composition than the second composition and the first treatment composition has a different composition than the second treatment composition.

10. A system, comprising:

a blending system for producing a first composition;

a boost pump for pumping a second composition; and

a pumping system comprising a first one or more pumps, a second one or more pumps, a third one or more pumps, and a fourth one or more pumps,

wherein the first composition is pumped to a first one or more wells by the first one or more pumps,

wherein the first composition is pumped to a second one or more wells by the second one or more pumps,

wherein the second composition is pumped to the first one or more wells by the third one or more pumps, and

wherein the second composition is pumped to the second one or more wells by the fourth one or more pumps.

11. The system of claim 10 , further comprising one or more sensors for sensing one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition.

12. The system of claim 10 , further comprising a controller for controlling one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition.

13. The system of claim 12 , further comprising one or more sensors for collecting data corresponding to the one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition, and wherein the controller controls the one or more pressures, flow rates, injection rates, compositions, temperatures, and densities of at least one of the first composition and the second composition based, at least in part, on the data.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first composition combines with the second composition to create a first treatment composition for treatment of the first one or more wells, and wherein the first composition combines with the second composition to create a second treatment composition for treatment of the second one or more wells.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the first treatment composition is created at one or more of the surface of the first one or more wells and below ground level in the first one or more wells, and wherein the second treatment composition is created at one or more of the surface of the second one or more wells and below ground level in the second one or more wells.

16. The system of claim 14 , wherein the pumping system simultaneously treats the first one or more wells with the first treatment composition and treats the second one or more wells with the second treatment composition.

17. The system of claim 14 , wherein at least one of the first composition has a different composition than the second composition and the first treatment composition has a different composition than the second treatment composition.

18. A method for treating two or more wells comprising:

operating a first one or more pumps to pump a first composition;

operating a second one or more pumps to pump the first composition;

operating a third one or more pumps to pump a second composition;

operating a fourth one or more pumps to pump the second composition;

combining the first composition and the second composition to create a first treatment composition;

combining the first composition and the second composition to create a second treatment composition;

treating a first one or more wells with the first treatment composition; and

treating a second one or more wells with the second treatment composition.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the first treatment composition differs from the second treatment composition.

20. The method of claim 18 , further comprising modifying the composition of at least one of the first treatment composition and the second treatment composition by modifying operation of at least one of the first one or more pumps, the second one or more pumps, the third one or more pumps, and the fourth one or more pumps.
