近日，由科瑞石油自主研发的全球首台仪表混砂车成功交付客户。该设备集成优化了混砂车与仪表车的所有功能，实现一车多能，将以往由压裂、管汇、混砂、仪表四种车型组成的压裂成套设备减少为压裂、管汇、混砂仪表三种车型，为客户节省采购成本近千万元。与此同时，设备在提高作业效率与质量、提升操作便捷性等方面均有卓越表现，是科瑞石油继2016年推出单筒三井高端井口、一体化速捷钻机之后的又一增产利器。
Kerui Petroleum, a leading provider of global oil & gas comprehensive solutions, delivers the independently developed world first data blender truck to its client. Having integrated and optimized all functions of both data van and blender truck, this multifunctional creation makes it possible for client to reduce the set of fracturing equipment from four types of trucks (fracturing truck, manifold truck, blender truck and data van) to three (fracturing truck, manifold truck, blender & data van), saving up to 2 million dollars of potential procurement cost for clients. In addition, this new truck also demonstrates excellent efficiency in increasing working performance & quality, and in simplifying operations, and is another productivity product after triple string wellhead and modular fast-move drilling rig unveiled in 2016.
2014年以来，全球油价持续在低位徘徊，急剧缩减的市场容量使油气行业之间的竞争空前激烈，如何在困境中劈波斩浪，需要看企业的硬实力。科瑞石油作为全球领先的油气综合解决方案提供商，坚持“技术引领未来，服务创造价值”的理念，积极布局全球技术研发体系，第一时间将客户需求转换为科研成果，帮助客户持续成功的同时实现自身的价值。此次研发的全球首台仪表混砂车正是低油价刺激下的油气装备市场需求的产物，创造了企业与客户双赢的典范，开辟了低油价时代油气行业创新发展的新思路、新模式。
Global oil price has been fluctuating at lower level since 2014， and the drastically shrunk market volume fueled the competition in oil-gas industry to an unprecedented level. To survive in this competition largely depends on the corporation’s hard power. As a global leading provider of oil & gas comprehensive solutions, Kerui Petroleum practice the philosophy of “technology leads the future, service creates value”, actively builds global R&D system, transforms customer demand into research achievement, and realize self-value through helping clients sustain each success. The world first data blender truck is just the product resulting from low oil price and demanded by the oil-gas equipment industry. It achieves a win-win for both the company and the clients, and paves a new development model for the oil-gas equipment industry in the low-oil-price era.
创新品类，智控成本
Innovation Reduces Costs
企业只有通过技术创新、管理创新才能实现成本的良性科学控制，单纯的压缩利润只会让企业逐步走向灭亡，仪表混砂车的成功研发是科瑞石油对成本控制很好的一个诠释。
据该项目负责人介绍，仪表混砂车革命性的创新点在于其将混砂车与仪表车完美结合的同时，成本仍然控制在与一台混砂车相近的价格，因此，相应的运输、人员等成本都会降低。凭借超值的性价比，仪表混砂车现已受到来自全球多家客户的关注和青睐。
While a company can control the costs in a scientific way through technological and managerial innovation, squeezing on profits only diminishes a company. The data blender truck is just the new product that demonstrates Kerui Petroleum’s effort in cost management.
According to the project manager, one revolutionary feature of this truck is that it does not only perfectly combine the functions of data van & blender truck, but also maintains its price at somewhat a blending truck costs. As such, the cost on the transportation and staff can also be reduced. Due to its highly cost-effectiveness, the data blender truck has already win endorsement from a number of global customers.
技术突破，提高作业质量
Technology boosts working performance
该套仪表混砂车排量为40桶/分钟，越小的排量反而对输砂系统有越高的要求。排量越低，要求输砂器的转速越低，低转速下的液压马达会产生爬行状态，无法保证输砂的连续性，这将直接影响压裂作业的质量，这也是困扰行业已久的难点。为此，科瑞石油重新设计了输砂器的结构，将输砂器的直径由12英寸改为8英寸，重新选型液压马达，保证输砂器在低转速时稳定运行，打破了混砂设备发展的瓶颈，标志着混砂设备正式跨入低排量时代。
The discharge capacity of this data blender truck is 40 barrels per minute. The lower the discharge capacity is, the more sophisticated the sand conveying system is expected to be, because when the discharge capacity is low, the rotate speed of sand conveyer has also to be low. This low rotate speed will cause the hydraulic motor to crawl so that the sand conveying process can’t be conducted continuously. As a result, the quality of fracturing can’t be guaranteed. Facing this longstanding difficulty, Kerui Petroleum re-designed the structure of the sand conveyer by reducing the diameter from 12 inches to 8 inches, changing the hydraulic motor, so as to ensure the stable operation in low rotate speed. This improvement has broken the bottleneck in the development of blender equipment, and marks the advent of low capacity era.
此外，仪表混砂车对混砂系统也进行了革命性的创新，将以往罐底单叶片搅拌变换为罐顶、罐底的双叶片搅动。罐顶的叶片搅动解决了干粉化学添加剂漂浮在液面之上难以融入混砂液的难题。顶部叶片的加入降低了对底部叶片作业的依赖性，从而使底部叶片有条件降低位置高度，底部叶片的高度越低，搅拌底部沉砂的效果越好，这项创新解决了行业以往罐底存砂的现象，省去了施工后人工清砂的环节，极大的提高了作业的效率。
In addition, the blender system has also been greatly improved, in which the top-bottom double-vane blender replaces the conventional single-vane blender at the bottom. The top-side blending solves the problem that the chemical powder additives might float on the liquid and can’t be blended into blend liquid. Since the top blender reduces the dependency to the bottom blender, the bottom blender can move to an even lower position which in turn improves the blending effect on the bottom. This innovation solves the problem of sand-gathering on the bottom and saves the step to manually clean the bottom, thus greatly increases the working efficiency.
创新结构优化，坚持以人为本
Structure brings convenience
据项目负责人介绍，该混砂车采用拖车式构造，通过结构模块的优化重组，提高了设备操作的便捷性与舒适性，同时也极大的释放了车体空间。
According to the project manager, by adopting and optimizing the trailer-style structure, they not only increase the convenience and comfort of the truck, but also greatly free the truck space.
仪表混砂车的控制室面积达6平米，在控制室内可同时完成混砂控制与仪表控制，解决了因控制室面积狭窄带来操作不便的困扰。控制室采取长方体式设计，在车体一侧留出充足空间便于施工人员行走，方便了设备的巡检。同时，将之前紧贴操控室的动力系统移至鹅颈上，极大的减少了控制室的噪声与振动，提高了工作环境的舒适性。此外，混砂设备的排出离心泵作为易损件，在每次作业前都需要保养，而且还需定期更换。之前受制于狭窄的作业平台，行业通常将排出离心泵放置在操作室的下面，每次保养都需工程师钻入到车身内部完成，操作极为不便，更换排出离心泵时更需将整个操作室拆下，用吊车将泵吊出，耗费极大的人力与时间。为此，仪表混砂车通过结构优化，将排出离心泵放置在车体一侧，使保养、更换泵体无需拆卸控制室，提高了工作效率，节省了客户的时间成本。
The control room of the data blender truck can be up to 6 square meters, where blender control and measuring control can be achieved simultaneously without feeling squeezed. The control room is in a rectangular shape with enough space at one side for workers to walk on and do routine inspection. Meanwhile, the power system is moved to the gooseneck, which significantly reduces the noise and vibration, and improves the working environment. In addition, the discharge centrifugal pump, which is a vulnerable part in the truck, needs to be maintained and changed regularly before every task. In the past, the discharge centrifugal pump was often placed under the control room due to the narrow working platform. As a result the engineer had to slip under the truck body every time to do the maintenance. This process was extremely inconvenient, especially when the pump needed to be changed and one had to disconnect the control room and hoist out the pump with a crane. The re-structured Data Blender truck, with the pump placed at one side of the body, makes the maintenance and changing easy and saves the time for clients.
油价起伏，决定于市场，或涨或跌，都是市场规律的必然反映。面对低油价的新常态，科瑞石油不断夯实自身实力、敏感捕捉市场需求，创新品类推出了仪表混砂车，为油气行业在低油价时代逆势发展开辟了新出路。展望未来，行业的寒冬短期内仍会持续，但恶劣的环境并没有将优秀的油企冻僵，反而成为其脱颖而出、强身健骨的好机遇，我们也期望越来越多的油企能抓住这历史的机遇，凭借装备、技术、服务等各方面的综合创新与融合刺破行业发展的坚冰，共同为世界能源事业开创美好未来!
The rise and fall of oil price depend on and reflect the market. In the new norm of low oil price, Kerui Petroleum has always been consolidating its strength, keeping sensitive to market demand, and encouraging innovation. The revolutionary Data Blender truck opens up a new way for the oil-gas industry in the adverse low-oil-price era. Looking ahead, the oil depression will continue at least in a short term. However, the excellent oil company will never be frozen up, instead it will stand out and be stronger. We hope more and more oil companies can grasp this historical opportunity, and break the ice-blocked oil industry and create a better future for world energy, with comprehensive innovation and integration in equipment, technologies and services.
