BJ Services blender has said it’s proven to increase pump time by eliminating system failure. Read how BJ is building reliability and performance into pressure pumping in this month’s E&P magazine. hashtag#BJServices hashtag#Technology hashtag#HowWeWork
Pressure pumping in North America has undergone an enormous evolution over the past decade. Completions intensity has increased exponentially with the combination of longer lateral lengths, higher flow rates and treating pressures, and longer pump times. Meanwhile, the equipment has remained relatively unchanged, with a primarily iterative new blender design.
Systems approach
Engineering a system is accomplished by first designing to remove failure points and then to anticipate failures. By doing both throughout the system, an equipment system can operate continuously through the largest operations.
