Abstract
A plug and pump system for routing pressurized fluid from a fluid source is disclosed. The system includes a platform and a docking station interface mounted on the platform and including multiple points of articulation. A wellhead interface is mounted on the platform and includes multiple points of articulation. The docking station interface and the wellhead interface are configured to route pressurized fluid from a fluid source.
Claims20
A plug and pump system for routing pressurized fluid from a fluid source, the system comprising:
- a platform;
- a docking station interface mounted on the platform and comprising multiple points of articulation;
- a wellhead interface mounted on the platform and comprising multiple points of articulation;
- a manifold interface mounted on the platform, wherein the manifold interface comprises one or more swivel assemblies, one or more elbows and a docking station line, wherein the docking station line accesses one or more wellheads from a single position of the platform;
- and
- wherein the docking station interface, the manifold interface and the wellhead interface are configured to route pressurized fluid from a fluid source.
A mobile plug and pump system for routing pressurized fluid from a fluid source, the system comprising a vehicle;
- a first articulating piping assembly mounted on the vehicle and comprising a swivel assembly;
- a second articulating piping assembly mounted on the vehicle and comprising a second swivel assembly;
- and
- wherein the first articulating piping assembly and the second articulating piping assembly are configured to cooperatively route pressurized fluid to multiple wellheads from a single position of the vehicle.
A method for routing pressurized fluid from a fluid source, the method comprising:
- attaching a docking station line of a manifold interface of a plug and pump system to a docking station;
- attaching a wellhead line of the plug and pump system to a wellhead;
- flowing fluid through one or more of the docking station line and the wellhead line, wherein the plug and pump system comprises:
- a platform;
- the docketing station line mounted on the platform and comprising a first swivel assembly;
- the wellhead line mounted on the platform and comprising a second swivel assembly;
- and
- wherein:
- the docking station line and the wellhead line each comprise high-pressure piping;
- and
- the docking station line and the wellhead line are configured to allow fluid to flow between the two lines;
- accessing one or more wellheads from a single position of the platform.
