FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a pumping system in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 depicts a pumping system in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, denoted generally with reference numeral 700. In one exemplary embodiment, shown in FIG. 7, the transfer pump 702 may be powered by a natural gas fired engine or a natural gas fired generator set 714. In another exemplary embodiment, the transfer pump may be powered by electricity from a power grid. Once the fluid system is mixed and blended with proppant and other fluid modifiers it is boosted to the high horsepower down hole pumps 704. The down hole pumps pump the slurry through the high pressure ground manifold 706 to the well head 708 and down hole. In one embodiment, the down hole pumps 704 may be powered by a natural gas fired engine, a natural gas fired generator set 714 or electricity from a power grid 716. The down hole pumps typically account for over two third of the horsepower on location, thereby reducing the carbon footprint of the overall operations.

In one exemplary embodiment, the natural gas used to power the transfer pumps, the down hole pumps or the other system components may be obtained from the field on which the subterranean operations are being performed 720. In one embodiment, the natural gas may be converted to liquefied natural gas 712 and used to power pumps and other equipment that would typically be powered by diesel fuel. In another embodiment, the natural gas may be used to provide power through generator sets 714. The natural gas from the field may undergo conditioning 710 before being used to provide power to the pumps and other equipment. The conditioning process may include cleaning the natural gas, compressing the natural gas in compressor stations and if necessary, removing any water contained therein.

As would be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, with the benefit of this disclosure, the IMSBS may include a different number of storage units 102, IPBs 106 and/or liquid additive storage modules 110, depending on the system requirements. For instance, in another exemplary embodiment (not shown), the IMSBS may include three storage units, one IPB and one liquid additive storage module.

FIG. 6 depicts an isometric view of IMSBS in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, denoted generally with reference numeral 600. As depicted in FIG. 6, each of the storage units 602, each of the liquid additive storage modules 604 and each of the IPBs 606 may be arranged as an individual module. In one embodiment, one or more of the storage units 602, the liquid additive storage modules 604 and the IPBs 606 may include a latch system which is couplable to a truck or trailer which may be used for transporting the module. In one embodiment, the storage units 602 may be a self-erecting storage unit as disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/235,270, assigned to Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Accordingly, the storage units 602 may be specially adapted to connect to a vehicle which may be used to lower, raise and transport the storage unit 602. Once For example, FIG. 8 depicts a self-erecting storage unit in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the self-erecting storage unit is a silo 800. The silo 800 may be mounted on and transported to a desired location using a trailer 802 which may be pulled by a truck 804. In one embodiment, hydraulic cylinders (not shown) may extend out from the trailer 802 and raise the silo 800 from a horizontal position to a vertical position. Referring now to FIG. 6, once at a jobsite, the storage unit 602 may be erected and filled with a predetermined amount of a desired material. A similar design may be used in conjunction with each of the modules of the IMSBS 600 disclosed herein in order to transport the modules to and from a job site. Once the desired number of storage units 602, the liquid additive storage modules 604 and the IPBs 606 are delivered to a job site, they are erected in their vertical position. Dry materials such as proppants or gel powder may then be filled pneumatically to the desired level and liquid chemicals may be pumped into the various storage tanks. Load sensors (not shown) may be used to monitor the amount of materials added to the storage units 602, the liquid additive storage modules 604 and the IPBs 606 in real time.

As would be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, with the benefit of this disclosure, an IMSBS 600 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention which permits accurate, real-time monitoring of the contents of the storage units 602, the liquid additive storage modules 604 and/or the IPBs 606 provides several advantages. For instance, an operator may use the amount of materials remaining in the storage units 602, the liquid additive storage modules 604 and/or the IPBs 606 as a quality control mechanism to ensure that material consumption is in line with the job requirements. Additionally, the accurate, real-time monitoring of material consumption expedites the operator's ability to determine the expenses associated with a job.

As would be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art, with the benefit of this disclosure, the different equipment used in an IMSBS in accordance with the present invention may be powered by any suitable power source. For instance, the equipment may be powered by a combustion engine, electric power supply which may be provided by an on-site generator or by a hydraulic power supply.

Therefore, the present invention is well-adapted to carry out the objects and attain the ends and advantages mentioned as well as those which are inherent therein. While the invention has been depicted and described by reference to exemplary embodiments of the invention, such a reference does not imply a limitation on the invention, and no such limitation is to be inferred. The invention is capable of considerable modification, alteration, and equivalents in form and function, as will occur to those ordinarily skilled in the pertinent arts and having the benefit of this disclosure. The depicted and described embodiments of the invention are exemplary only, and are not exhaustive of the scope of the invention. Consequently, the invention is intended to be limited only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims, giving full cognizance to equivalents in all respects. The terms in the claims have their plain, ordinary meaning unless otherwise explicitly and clearly defined by the patentee.
