Fracturing fluid deflecting and screening insert

A fracturing header for a wellbore comprising:

• a multipurpose block having a main bore in communication with the wellbore, the multipurpose block further comprising:
• two or more inlet ports disposable in opposing pairs and in communication with the main bore, each inlet port being fit with an insert, each insert having a tubular wall and an insert bore extending longitudinally therethrough, the insert bore having a downstream endwall thereacross and an open upstream fluid inlet in fluid communication with a flow of fracturing fluid, and one or more slot-like openings extending through the tubular wall and spaced circumferentially thereabout for discharging the flow of fluid to the main bore;
• and
• flowback outlet ports in communication with the main bore for receiving a flow of fluid from the main bore.

Apparatus disposable in a fluid conduit upstream of a fracturing header, between a source of a flow of fracturing fluid and a wellbore, comprising:

• a tubular wall defining a screen bore extending longitudinally therethrough,
• a plurality of openings spaced about a circumference of the tubular wall excluding debris entrained within the flow of fluid while permitting the fracturing fluid to pass therethrough between the screen bore and an annular flow area about the tubular wall,
• a closed endwall oriented upstream in the flow of fluid, blocking the screen bore and directing fluid through the plurality of openings substantially free of the debris, and
• an open end in fluid communication with the fracturing header, for flow of fluid between screen bore and the fluid conduit.
