Smart Trailer

PetroStar Services Smart Trailer is a full data acquisition system designed to be used in tandem with a conventional mixing plant. With 3 on board chem-add pumps the smart trailer takes the guess work out of chemical dosing while at the same time accurately tracking the total chemical used over the course of the job. Additionally, the Smart Trailer allows for the mixing plant operator to monitor both circulating and wellhead pressures in real time through the use of high pressure transducers as well as monitoring flowback rates through a guided wave radar tank strapping system. An acoustic monitor is attached both upstream and downstream of the plug catcher allowing for a differential to be calculated as plug parts return to surface. The Smart Trailer is also equipped with a viscometer skid that allows for real time viscosity data to be collected from both the active and slugging tanks on the mixing plant. Tank level sensor can also be installed in the mixing plant tub and can be set to alert the operator to preempt potential spills. The smart trailer brings technology to conventional reliability.

Features:

• • Viscosity Measurements
  • 2 High Pressure Transducers for Real Time Circulating and Wellhead Pressure Monitoring
  • 3 Chem – add pumps with Micro – Motion Flow Meters
  • Guided Wave Radar Tank Level Monitoring with Overflow Alerts
  • Digital Tank Strapping via Guided Wave Radar
  • 2 – Sand Acoustic Monitors to Monitor Returns
  • 1 – Mag Meter Determine Mixing Plant Discharge Rate 

Data Acquisition Mixing Plants

PetroStar Services Data Acquisition Mixing Plants are designed to be the best of both worlds combining the reliability and functionality of a conventional mixing plant with state-of-the-art chemical injection, blending, and data tracking technology. The DA plant comes with 4 chem – add pumps with the ability to direct inject 4 chemicals at a time. There is an additional option to pump two chemicals into either the 25-barrel or 50-barrel onboard slugging tanks to allow for increased hydration time. All fluid leaving the plant passes through a static mixer to ensure homogenization. Chemical injection rates are flow dependent and measured using Micro – Motion flow meters to ensure accurate dosage. The DA plant also comes equipped with 2 high pressure transducers to monitor circulating and wellhead pressures in real time.

Features:

• • Real Time Job Monitoring from Anywhere
  • Data Sharing with Coiled Tubing for Complete Job Monitoring in One Place
  • Precise, Rate Dependent, Chemical Dosing
  • Tubs to Allow for Maximum Hydration of Sweep Materials

Thru-Tubing

Thru-Tubing Case Study 

PetroStar Services’ Thru Tubing was called on to complete a challenging well from a customer in the Permian. The challenge consisted of drilling 43 plugs, washing over and recovering a fish, then drilling the remaining 2 plugs. All of this on a 2+ mile lateral with a .21 Friction coefficient with an agitator. Challenge accepted!!

PetroStar Services deployed our Patent Pending X-Reach Technology and Top Caliper Thru Tubing supervisors to “get it done”. We drilled the first 43 plugs with our X-Reach extended reach tool maintaining a .19 Friction coefficient! With a new tool string, we washed over and recovered the fish in two runs. Utilizing the original X-Reach and motor from our first run, we then changed to a bit and drilled the remaining plugs while achieving an incredible .155 Friction Coefficient!!!

Thru-Tubing Patents and Patent Pending Tools

X-Reach Agitation Tool

Petrostar Services patent pending extended reach tool "X-Reach" was developed in house by our thru-tubing experts and available in 2-7/8" and 3.125" tools sizes and shown consistent performance to a .19 friction coefficient.  

Velocity Tool

Petrostar Services patent pending velocity tool is an unlimited cycle circulating sub designed for stick pipe drill outs to increase annular flow without exceeding downhole tool capabilities. The tool is configured to open over the desired flow rate for downhole tools and is capable of pumping up to 8 bpm. 

Barium Mill

Petrostar Services Barium mill is specifically designed to improve rate of penetration when compared to conventional diamond cutter barium mills. The patented design provides a stepped increase of diameters and positioning of carbide cutters and appropriate positioning of fluid ports and channels, to provide removal of cuttings and cooling and lubricating of the cutting head, in turn providing more efficiency and a better rate of penetration when compared to conventional diamond barium mills.
