Abstract:
Embodiments of drive equipment for mobile hydraulic fracturing power units and methods for changing and controlling the drive equipment are disclosed. The mobile power units include a gas turbine engine that provides mechanical power to drive shaft which is connected to the drive equipment such that the drive equipment is driven by the engine. The drive equipment may be a hydraulic fracturing pump or an electrical generator. The drive shaft is rotated at a speed suitable for the hydraulic fracturing pump and the electrical generator includes a step up gearbox to increase a rotational speed of the drive shaft for use by the electrical generator. The drive equipment may be secured to a skid that is field changeable with a crane or a fork lift to change the drive equipment at a well pad based on the demands of the well pad.
