Delivery system for fracture applications

摘要

Described herein is a modular, adjustable system for distributing fluids to one or more wellbores. The system is readily configured and assembled at a well site, and allows for one portion of the system to be isolated for service or repair while the remainder of the system continues to operate. The system includes a plurality of pump skids having both a distribution junction in fluid communication with inlets to of plurality of pump trucks and an exit junction in fluid communication with outlets of the plurality of pump trucks.

1. A delivery system for delivering fluid to a wellhead, comprising:
a water pipeline comprising an end in fluid communication with a water supply; a water supply branch that is in fluid communication with the water pipeline and that connects to an inlet of a water pump; a slurry pipeline comprising an end in fluid communication with a supply of slurry; a slurry supply branch that is in fluid communication with the slurry pipeline and that connects to an inlet of a slurry pump; a high-pressure pipeline comprising an end in fluid communication with the wellhead, wherein the high-pressure pipeline comprises first and second high-pressure pipe segments coupled to one another by a hub connector comprising a seal ring disposed longitudinally between the first and second pipe segments and a clamping ring with two opposing members operable to urge the first and second pipe segments longitudinally toward one another in response to movement of the two opposing members toward one another in a lateral direction; a water exit branch that is in fluid communication with the high pressure pipeline and that connects to an outlet of the water pump; and a slurry exit branch that is in fluid communication with the high pressure pipeline and that connects to an outlet of the slurry pump.
