Bill Spitzer & Associates Lincoln Automated Lubrication Systems for the Well Service Industry
WELL SERVICE INDUSTRY TRANSITION • Industry transition to horizontal drilling • Multi-Stage Fracturing • Equipment operating longer hours at higher pressures • Places higher reliability demands on frac pumping equipment
Frac Pump Packing Lube Packing lube system expectations: Prolong packing life Minimal use of the right lubricant Delivery system to be proven, simple, and rugged
OIL SYSTEMS Advantages: Oil is best lubricant Low cost option Disadvantages: Difficult to control Over lube is typical Environmental issues Systems are pressurized (30 to 50 psi) and oil flows to path of least resistance
PUMP IN A BOX Advantages All inclusive package Low cost option Suitable for conventional vertical well stimulation Disadvantages Undersized for multi-stage stimulation Refill every four hours Operator tampering to “speed up” refilling process Contamination caused by poor refilling techniques Difficult to verify pump element operation Damage to controls during stimulation process
SYSTEM UPGRADE EXPECTATIONS Expectations • Increase reservoir capacity • Picking the right lubricant • Use of 00-000 very light bodied grease • Delivering the right lubricant, in smaller shots, more frequently by counting strokes • Minimize the number of operator touches • Reliability • Ruggedness • Operator Safety • Local service and support • Keep it simple
NEW CENTRO-MATIC PACKING LUBE SYSTEM Advantages Large capacity reservoir Increase in lube consumption Increase in packing life Minimizes operator “touches” Rugged, reliable, simple Disadvantages Change from conventional method Method or plan to bulk fill reservoirs in shop and field
LINCOLN 85518 PUMP STATION Hydraulic driven high pressure pump Large capacity fabricated tank (60 lb.) Minimizes operator touches Filter Screen on pump inlet to minimize pumping large particulate Dip stick for lubricant level check Fixed flow and pressure control (2 gpm, 300 psi) Repairable Field Proven around the world in the harshest of environments
LINCOLN SL-V INJECTORS Centro-Matic injectors are the industry standard for mining Each injector is adjustable Handles up to #2 Grease Visual Indication of operation Built in grease fitting for manual lube option
PROGRAMMABLE STROKE COUNTER NEMA 4X BOX MOELLER CONTROLLER MANUAL CYCLE BUTTON EMERGENCY SWITCH PRESSURE SWITCH CAPABILITIES • PROXIMITY SWITCH • SPLIT COLLAR MAG PICK UP • FABRICATED BRACKET • PRESET @ 120 STROKES
SYSTEM JUSTIFICATION • Eliminates daily manual fill • From once per day to refilling every 5 days + depending on reservoir capacity • Increases personnel safety and operator tampering • Minimizes operator involvement • Minimizes human touches, minimizes contamination, minimizes system issues and maximizes uptime • Reliable delivery of lubricant • Maximizes packing life and stimulation equipment uptime • Extend system life from months to years • Smaller lube shots, more frequently, quickly replenishes lube film strength • Proven technology • Payback • Less than one year compared to conventional packaged systems • System designed to last for years rather than months
BLENDERS QUICKLUB SYSTEM Rugged environment leads to problems with divider valves CENTRO-MATIC SYSTEM Withstands harsh enviornment, while consuming lubricant.
