    Abstract: An illustrative modular manifold system includes, among other things, two or more modular pump manifolds, a low-pressure header, and a main high-pressure manifold. Modular pump manifolds may include a low-pressure manifold for supplying fracturing fluid or water to pumps, a high-pressure manifold for supplying fracturing fluid or water to one or more wells and a bleed-off/prime-up manifold. Each modular pump manifold of the modular manifold system is configured to be fluidly isolatable from the other modular pump manifolds. Each isolated modular pump manifold is configured to be flushed with water, bled off and primed up independently of the other modular pump manifolds. After the bleed off, maintenance procedures may be performed on pumps associated with the isolated modular pump manifold. The modular pump manifolds that are not isolated may continue in active fracing stage operations while a modular pump manifold is isolated.

    Abstract: A monitoring system for reciprocating pump having a plunger connected to a crankshaft by a crosshead and connecting rod assembly. The monitoring system includes a plurality of wireless temperature sensors which each have a temperature probe connected to a sensor head, a plurality of antennas which each have an antenna head configured to communicate wirelessly with a corresponding one of the sensor heads, and a signal processing unit connected to the plurality of antennas. Each temperature probe is positioned in contact with a corresponding crank pin bearing, wrist pin bearing or crosshead bearing. Each sensor head is mounted to the crosshead, and each antenna head is mounted to the pump at a location in which communication is enabled between the antenna head and its corresponding sensor head when the crosshead reaches a first position during each reciprocation of the crosshead. In operation, each antenna head transmits a radar pulse which is reflected by its corresponding sensor head, the reflected pulse is received by the antenna head and communicated to the signal processing unit, and the signal processing unit determines the temperature of the sensor head from the reflected pulse, which temperature is indicative of the temperature of its corresponding monitored bearing.

    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.

    Abstract: A high-pressure unit (HPU) skid for greasing and actuating a frac tree valve includes one or more hydraulic pumps, a grease pump, a hydraulic reservoir, and two or more accumulators all of which are mounted on a portable frame. The HPU skid further includes fluidic connections to connect the frac tree valve to an output of the grease pump and fluidic connections to connect the frac tree valve to at least one of the two or more accumulators. The hydraulic pumps are configured to withdraw hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic reservoir for charging the accumulators, operating the grease pump, or charging the accumulators and operating the grease pump at a same time.

    Abstract: A modular pump skid includes a base, a prime mover mounted on the base, and one or more hydraulic pump circuits removably mounted on the base and operationally coupled to the prime mover, wherein each hydraulic pump circuit has a hydraulic pump operationally coupled to the prime mover and a hydraulically driven pump fluidly coupled to the hydraulic pump. Each hydraulic pump circuit is in a closed loop independent of other hydraulic pump circuits.
