Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a system for fracturing operation in oil/gas fields. The disclosed fracturing system is integrated onto a semitrailer that can be conveniently transported to any oil field. The disclosed fracturing system further includes major components needed for delivering high-pressure fracturing fluid into a wellhead, including but not limited to at least one power generation source and at least one plunger pump driven by the at least one power generation source via simple transmission mechanisms utilizing reduction gearbox and/or transmission shafts. The power generation source, in particular, includes a turbine engine capable of being powered by 100% natural gasified liquid fuel. The fracturing system further includes hydraulic and cooling component for serving the various needs for the turbine engine, the reduction gearbox, and the plunger pump, such as lubrication of various moving parts.
