Abstract

Embodiments disclosed provide a pump assembly including a first pump for delivering at least one fluid. The first pump may include a first inlet coupled to the first pump for delivering at least one first fluid to the first pump, a second inlet coupled to the first pump for delivering at least one second fluid to the first pump, a first discharge coupled to the first pump for delivering the at least one first fluid at a first pressure, and a second discharge coupled to the first pump for delivering the at least one second fluid at a second pressure. In some embodiments, the first discharge and the second discharge are isolated from each other.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pump assembly comprising:
a first line for delivering a first fluid;
a second line for delivering a second fluid, wherein the first line is coupled to the second line;
a first pump;
a second pump;
a first suction line coupled to the first line and the first pump for delivering the first fluid to the first pump;
a second suction line coupled to the second line and the second pump for delivering the first fluid and the second fluid to the second pump;
a third line coupled to the first line and the second suction line coupled to the second pump, the third line for delivering the first fluid to the second suction line coupled to the second pump from the first line;
a third suction line coupled to the first pump for delivering the first fluid and the second fluid to the first pump;
a fourth line coupled to the second line, the third line, and the third suction line coupled to the first pump, the fourth line for delivering the first fluid from the third line to the third suction line and for delivering the second fluid from the second line to the third suction line;
a first discharge line coupled to the first pump for delivering the first fluid from the first pump at a first pressure; and
a second discharge line coupled to the first pump for delivering the second fluid from the first pump at a second pressure, wherein the first discharge line and the second discharge line are isolated from each other; and
a third discharge line coupled to the second pump for delivering the first fluid and the first pressure and the second fluid at the second pressure from the second pump.

2. The pump assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first suction line, the second suction line, and the third suction line are substantially isolated from each other.

3. The pump assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second discharge line is substantially isolated from the third discharge line.

4. The pump assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a unitary control unit to direct the delivering of the first fluid and the second fluid to the first pump and the second pump.

5. The pump assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first fluid is a cement slurry and the second fluid is a mud.

6. The pump assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
a fifth line coupled to the first suction line, the fifth line for delivering water to the first suction line, and
wherein the first suction line is for delivering the water to the first pump.

7. The pump assembly of claim 6 , further comprising:
a sixth line coupled to the first line for delivering a liquid additive to the first fluid in the first line.

8. The pump assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:
a fifth line coupled to the second discharge line and the third discharge line and extending to a wellbore, wherein the fifth line is for delivering the second fluid discharged from the first pump and the second pump into the wellbore at the second pressure; and
the first discharge line extends to the wellbore, wherein the first discharge line is for delivering the first fluid from the first pump into the wellbore at the first pressure.

9. The pump assembly of claim 8 , further comprising:
a sixth line extending from the fifth line to the first discharge line, the sixth line for delivering the second fluid at the second pressure from the fifth line into the first discharge line.
