AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent is about a system and method for fracturing underground formations using high-pressure fluids. The system includes a flexible pipe that is connected to a missile and a fracturing tree through a connector. The flexible pipe is arranged on a spool that can adjust its length and is connected to the missile through a flexible pipe section. The system also includes a plurality of high-pressure fracturing pumps and a plurality of fracturing trees. The flexible pipe segments can be moved to adjust the flow path between the missile and the fracturing trees. The technical effect of this patent is to improve the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing operations by utilizing encapsulation of various datasets into common transmission packets.

Problems solved by technology

Additionally, the piping may be subject to erosion and contribute to line losses due to diameter changes and bends.

Abstract

A system for fracturing an underground formation includes a flexible pipe receiving a high pressure slurry from a missile outlet, the flexible pipe including one or more sections arranged in series. The system also includes a connector secured to an end of the flexible pipe, the connector adapted to fluidly couple the flexible pipe to one or more fracturing trees of a plurality of fracturing trees associated with a wellbore, wherein the flexible pipe directs the high pressure slurry into the wellbore, via the one or more fracturing trees, the flexible pipe being movable between respective fracturing tree inlets of the plurality of fracturing trees.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to and the benefit of co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 811,670 filed Feb. 28, 2019 titled “SYSTEM FOR MULTI-WELL FRAC USING MONO-BORE FLEX PIPE,” the full disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.BACKGROUND1. Field of the Disclosure[0002]This disclosure relates in general to oil and gas tools, and in particular, to systems and methods for fracturing operations at a well site, particularly zipper frac sites.2. Description of Related Art[0003]In oil and gas production, various tubulars, valves, and instrumentation systems may be used to direct fluids into and out of a wellhead. For example, in hydraulic fracturing operations, frac trees may be arranged at the wellhead and include pipe spools and various valves to direct hydraulic fracturing fluid into the wellbore. If several trees are arranged proximate one another, fracturing ...
