Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fluid transportation, and particularly relates to a novel ultra-high pressure large-diameter modular shunt manifold. Background Technique

[0002] With the progress of science and technology and the large-scale exploitation of low-permeability oil and gas resources, using numerous pump trucks and extremely high pressures to conduct large-scale fracturing operations on multiple oil and gas wells has become a common technology for the exploitation of low-permeability oil and gas resources such as shale gas and sandstone gas. Due to large-scale, multi-well fracturing operations, the equipment occupies a large area and has a long transportation distance. Therefore, using a fracturing shunt manifold to connect the fracturing manifold and multiple distributed fracturing wellhead devices to conduct fracturing operations simultaneously or separately is a major measure in the development of fracturing complete equipment technology.

[0003] However, when facing ultra-high pressure working conditions, traditional shunt manifolds often have problems such as small diameters resulting in limited flow rates, uneven internal fluid pressure distribution, complex connections between modules, and low integration. These problems not only affect production efficiency but also increase the equipment maintenance cost and potential safety risks. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] Purpose of the utility model: To overcome the above deficiencies, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a novel ultra-high pressure large-diameter modular shunt manifold, whose remarkable feature is that the main pipeline and the branch pipelines are in an "F"-shaped shunt structure, with a unified diameter set inside the main pipeline, which can evenly distribute the fluid to each branch pipeline, thereby achieving precise flow control. The fluid enters from the inlet of the main pipeline, and after the shunting effect of the fracturing octagon assembly, it is distributed to each branch pipeline according to a predetermined ratio and flow rate, and finally transported to different working areas, improving the stability and working efficiency of the system.

[0005] Technical solution: To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a novel ultra-high pressure large-diameter modular shunt manifold, including a main pipeline and branch pipelines. At least one branch pipeline is connected to the main pipeline, and the branch pipeline is connected to the main pipeline through a set of short joint assemblies, and the main pipeline and the branch pipelines are in an "F" shape.

[0006] Further, the short joint assembly includes a short joint pipe and a four-way pipe. The four-way pipe is connected into the main pipeline. The short joint pipe is connected into the main pipeline through the four-way pipe and is collinear with the main pipeline. One end of the short joint pipe is connected to the four-way pipe, and the other end is connected to the next short joint assembly or the outlet of the main pipeline. The connection of the branch pipeline to the main pipeline through the short joint assembly realizes modular installation, and the reduction or increase of the branch pipeline can be achieved only by removing or adding the corresponding short joint assembly.

[0007] Among them, a safety valve assembly and a first fracturing octo-connection assembly are arranged on the branch pipeline. The first fracturing octo-connection assembly is arranged at the outlet of the branch pipeline, and the safety valve assembly is arranged between the first fracturing octo-connection assembly and the main pipeline.

[0008] In a further optimized solution, the safety valve assembly includes a manual gate valve and a hydraulic gate valve arranged in sequence on the branch pipeline. One end of the manual gate valve is communicated with a four-way pipe, and the other end is communicated with the hydraulic gate valve. The other end of the hydraulic gate valve is communicated with the first fracturing octo-connection assembly. Both the manual gate valve and the hydraulic gate valve in the safety valve assembly can control the conduction of the branch pipeline. During normal operation, both are in the normally open state. When an emergency occurs, the hydraulic gate valve is controlled to close the branch pipeline, while the manual gate valve is used to close the branch pipeline manually when the hydraulic gate valve fails, ensuring safe production.

[0009] Further, a second fracturing octo-connection assembly is arranged at the outlet end of the main pipeline. There is a diverter base at the bottom of the second fracturing octo-connection assembly, and the second fracturing octo-connection assembly is arranged on the diverter base.

[0010] There is a branch pipeline bottom skid at the bottom of the branch pipeline, and the branch pipeline is arranged on the branch pipeline bottom skid.

[0011] The outlet of the four-way pipe opposite to the branch pipeline is blocked by a blind flange.

[0012] Preferably, connecting flange plates are arranged at both ends of the short pipe section. Arranging connecting flanges at both ends of the short pipe section is for the convenience of installation on the one hand, and on the other hand, flange connection has high reliability, ensuring the reliability of the entire diverter manifold under high-pressure working conditions.

[0013] Furthermore, a molybdenum disulfide layer is laid on the inner surfaces of the main pipeline and the branch pipeline. The molybdenum disulfide layer can effectively avoid the corrosion of the pipeline by the liquid, improve the corrosion resistance of the diverter manifold and extend its service life.

[0014] From the above technical solutions, the following beneficial effects can be seen in the present utility model:

[0015] 1. A novel ultra-high pressure large-diameter modular diverter manifold provided by the present utility model has a remarkable feature that the main pipeline and the branch pipelines are in an F-shaped diversion structure. A unified diameter is set inside the main pipeline, which can evenly distribute the fluid to each branch pipeline, thereby realizing precise flow control. The fluid enters from the inlet of the main pipeline, and after the diversion effect of the fracturing octo-connection assembly, it is distributed to each branch pipeline according to a predetermined ratio and flow rate, and finally transported to different working areas, improving the stability and working efficiency of the system.

[0016] 2. The branch pipeline is installed with the main pipeline through the short joint assembly. The modular design makes the installation, maintenance and replacement of the manifold more convenient, reducing the production cost and downtime.

[0017] 3. In the utility model, a molybdenum disulfide layer is laid on the inner side surface of the pipeline. The short joint assembly and the main pipeline are connected by flanges, improving the high-pressure resistance and corrosion resistance of the manifold and extending the service life.

The other end of the hydraulic gate valve 212 is communicated with the first fracturing octo-connection assembly 22. In addition, in order to further implement safe production, a pressure relief tank can also be installed between the safety valve assembly 21 and the first fracturing octo-connection assembly 22 to prevent accidents caused by excessive pressure.
