Appl. No.:

17/653410

Inventors:

- Houston TX, US
John Eden - Houston TX, US
Julian Keihany - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

FMC Technologies, Inc. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 43/12
F16L 41/02

Abstract:

A system for transferring fluid from a pump to a manifold, the manifold having a plurality of fluid inlets. A first pump truck includes a first pump having a first fluid outlet. A first flexible pipe couples the first fluid outlet to a first fluid inlet. The first flexible pipe is self-supporting and forms an arch extending over the first pump truck. The first pump truck may include a second pump having a second fluid outlet and a second flexible pipe may couple the second fluid outlet to a second fluid inlet. A second pump truck may include third and fourth pumps having third and fourth fluid outlets, respectively, that may be coupled to third and fourth fluid inlets by third and fourth self-supporting flexible pipes.

Abstract:

A system may a first frac tree having a first inlet, a manifold having a first fluid outlet, and a first flexible pipe. The first flexible pipe may include a first end of the first flexible pipe coupled to the first fluid outlet; a second end of the first flexible pipe is coupled to the first inlet; and a first outer shell rotationally mounted on the manifold, the first outer shell extends from the manifold a length between the first end and the second end. The first outer shell may extend from the manifold a length between the first end and the second end. Additionally, the first outer shell is curved to have a radius to arch the first flexible pipe from the manifold to the frac tree.
