Abstract
The present invention relates to a hub block (2) with two hubs (3a, 3b), each configured for connection with a branch pipe from a well. The two hubs are in line with each other. A flowline bore (12) extends between flowline inlet and exit ports (5, 10). The flowline bore (12) is intersecting and in fluid connection with two branch bores (23a, 23b) extending from the flowline bore (12) and to the hubs (3a, 3b). Two valve bores (11a, 11b) extend across the branch bores (23a, 23b). Furthermore the invention relates to a 2-slot inline block (1) with a hub block (2) and a manifold assembly of a plurality of 2-slot inline blocks (1).
Claims11
An inline block manifold system including a plurality of hub blocks (2) connected by a plurality of flowline spacer pipes, each comprising:
- a first hub (3a) connected to one of the plurality of flowline spacer pipes and comprising a first branch port configured for connection with a branch pipe from a first well and a second hub (3b) connected to another of the plurality of flowline spacer pipes comprising a second branch port, configured for connection with a branch pipe from a second well, wherein the second hub (3b) is in line with and in an opposite direction of the first hub (3a);
- a flowline bore (12), extending between a flowline inlet port (5) and a flowline exit port (10), intersecting and in fluid connection with a first branch bore (23a) extending from the flowline bore (12) and to the first hub (3a) and a second branch bore (23b) extending from the flowline bore (12) and to the second hub (3b);
- a first valve bore (11a) extending across the first branch bore (23a);
- and
- a second valve bore (11b) extending across the second branch bore (23b);
- and
- wherein the flowline bore (12) of each of the plurality of hub blocks (2) are inline.
A hub block (2) comprising a first hub (3a) connected to one of a plurality of flowline spacer pipes and comprising a first branch port configured for connection with a branch pipe from a first well and a second hub (3b) connected to another of the plurality of flowline spacer pipes comprising a second branch port configured for connection with a branch pipe from a second well, wherein the second hub (3b) is in line with and in an opposite direction of the first hub (3a);
- a flowline bore (12), extending between a flowline inlet port (5) and a flowline exit port (10), intersecting and in fluid connection with a first branch bore (23a) extending from the flowline bore (12) and to the first hub (3a) and a second branch bore (23b) extending from the flowline bore (12) and to the second hub (3b),
- a first valve bore (11a) extending across the first branch bore (23a);
- and
- a second valve bore (11b) extending across the second branch bore (23b).
