Linear wellhead connection system for pumping fluid into multiple wellheads
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11905781B1) discloses a linear wellhead connection system designed to efficiently pump fluid into multiple wellheads. The system comprises a series of discharge conduits, each with a receiver, connected to at least one wellhead. An inlet conduit, equipped with a connection member, can be moved linearly along a track system to engage and disengage with the receivers on the discharge conduits. The system also includes flexible hoses or rotatable joints to remain coupled during movement, ensuring a continuous flow of pressurized fluid from a fluid source.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for pumping fluid into the wellheads using the described system. The method involves linearly moving the inlet conduit along a track system to engage with a discharge conduit, pump pressurized fluid through the system, and then disengage to move on to the next wellhead. This process can be repeated for multiple wellheads, with the flexibility to move laterally and linearly along the track system. The system's design allows for efficient and seamless fluid transfer, with the option to use flexible hoses, hard pipes, or a combination thereof for coupling the discharge conduits to the wellheads. Additionally, the connection system can be electric, hydraulic, or manual, providing versatility in operation.
