Fracking pumps also known in oil exploration
parlance as frac pump extricate shale oil and gas from deep surfaces with
relative ease. The extricating process involves the cracking the rock or
surface with a fluid. The natural gas
and petroleum gradually rises through the crevice created by the frac pump.
Here are a few important features of the pump and its operation
Fracturing the surface
to get the oil to the surface
A quintuplex frac pump performs the task of
fracturing the surface and paving the way or a pathway for oil or gas to reach
the surface. As the method involves the
fracturing of surface, it needs to be precise and of the right pressure. A
quintuplex frac pump needs be
aligned at the right location to get the best results, which can be achieved
better by the right engineering. And we, at Shalepumps offer one of the most
perfectly designed and manufactured pumps.
Hydraulic fracturing
performance determined by the fluid media directed downwards
The nature of the operations renders the action
of the fluid media important. In other words, the effectiveness of the pumping
equipment to direct the fluid media down a well at high pressure determines the
eventual success of the process. A quintuplex frac pump directs the fluid under great pressure
with accuracy to fracture help in production.
The shift from
vertical to horizontal
The greatest challenges and successes in fracking
operations were the shift from vertical operations to horizontal operations.
This change from vertical to horizontal impacted the design of pumps, leading
to not just powerful pumps, but pumps that had a high threshold for sustained
operations. Shalepumps with inception dating back to many decades was one among
the many companies that embraced the change swiftly.
A large number of rigs operate with the
horizontal alignment requirement, making it one of the most preferred among
rigs. With a heavy percentage of a whopping 48 percent of all rigs, it has
become all the more important for manufacturers to build better and powerful
quintuplex frac pumps to operate in horizontal alignment with newer challenges.
