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.

A compartmentalized hydraulic fracturing (frac) system may include a mono line configured to carry frac fluid into a well. The system may include a plurality of zones, each zone comprising: a set of one or more frac pumps each configured to pump frac fluid into the mono line, an isolation valve configured to control the flow of frac fluid between the set of frac pumps and the mono line; and a bleed valve configured to release pressurized frac fluid from the set of frac pumps when in an open position. The system may include partition walls between the plurality of zones. The system may include a control system configured to deactivate or reactivate a zone of the plurality of zones by controlling the set of frac pumps, the isolation valve, and the bleed valve of the zone.

A system for providing mobile electric power includes a first transport including a gas turbine and a generator and a second transport including an air inlet filter housing and an exhaust stack. The two transports are connectable to each other at an intake connection and an exhaust connection between facing sides of the two transports. The first transport includes first and second inlet ports, and first, second, and third outlet ports on the facing side of the first transport. The intake connection provides filtered air from the air inlet filter housing to the first inlet port as combustion air for the gas turbine, and the second inlet port as cooling air to cool an enclosure of the gas turbine. The exhaust connection exhausts air to the exhaust stack from the first, second and third outlet ports.

An exhaust air connection receives exhaust air from a separate power generation system. A heat transfer assembly transfers thermal energy from the exhaust air to a source fluid to generate a heated source fluid. A valve regulates a flow of the exhaust air from the exhaust air connection to a heat recovery flow path disposed with the heat transfer assembly and to a bypass flow path bypassing the heat transfer assembly. A control system operates the valve to regulate the flow of the exhaust air. An exhaust releases to atmosphere the exhaust air from at least one of the heat recovery flow path and the bypass flow path.

A compartmentalized hydraulic fracturing system enables selective isolation, maintenance, and reactivation of individual zones without interrupting overall pumping operations. Each zone includes one or more frac pumps that discharge into a mono line through a pressure control assembly having a hydraulically actuated gate valve and a passive one-way isolation valve arranged in series. The passive isolation valve, which may include a flapper-type check mechanism, automatically opens when pump-side pressure exceeds mono-line pressure by a cracking pressure and closes to prevent backflow when the differential reverses. A bleed assembly may provide controlled depressurization of each isolated zone. A control system may deactivate and reactivate zones automatically based on pressure data and valve states, maintaining redundant barriers and enabling safe, rapid service of individual compartments while minimizing downtime in high pressure hydraulic fracturing operations.

A first fracturing pump is selectively engaged or disengaged a from an electric prime mover based on operation of a first lever by a user. The first lever, the electric prime mover, and the first fracturing pump are mounted on a mobile transport. A second fracturing pump is selectively engaged or disengaged a from the electric prime mover based on operation of a second lever by the user. The second lever is also mounted on the mobile transport. The electric prime mover is operable to drive one of the first and second fracturing pumps that is engaged with the electric prime mover while not driving the other of the first and second fracturing pumps that is disengaged from the electric prime mover by operation of a corresponding one of the first and second levers.

Activity data associated with a fleet move is received. The activity data is associated with performance of activities for one or more events according to a move play prescribed for the fleet move. A plurality of features associated with the activity data are extracted. The extracted features are input into a machine learning model that is trained based on features of historical activity data of historical fleet moves. A probability of the fleet move having the prescribed move play failing to complete within a predetermined timeframe is received as output from the machine learning model. In response to the probability being higher than a threshold, one or more recommendations configured to improve a likelihood of the fleet move being completed within the predetermined timeframe or reduce overtime, are generated. A graphical user interface of a client device is caused to display the one or more recommendations.

An air handling transport includes a base frame and a combustion air module mounted to the base frame. The combustion air module includes a combustion air plenum for providing filtered combustion air to a turbine mounted on a separate transport. The transport further includes a ventilation air module mounted to the base frame. The ventilation air module provides filtered ventilation air to an enclosure for the turbine mounted on the separate transport. The ventilation air module includes a ventilation air compartment, a ventilation air duct, and a ventilation air plenum. The ventilation air duct is in the base frame and extends below the ventilation air compartment, the combustion air module, and the ventilation air plenum. The ventilation air duct couples the ventilation air compartment to the ventilation air plenum.
