I’ve been analyzing pump performance during our last few frac jobs, and it seems there’s room for improvement in our fluid delivery rates. Has anyone experimented with alternative hydraulic control systems that could optimize performance? I’m particularly interested in seeing results from different setups that balance cost and efficiency.
I’ve noticed a significant bump in efficiency by tweaking our pump ratios. > optimize performance? I’m particularly interested in seeing results from different setups that you’ve mentioned — have you looked at variable speed drives? They’ve really helped balance cost while ramping up output for us.
I totally get where you’re coming from. Pump efficiency issues can drive me nuts too. Last month, we tried a new hydraulic control setup that really improved our delivery rates, though it did come with some extra costs.
