  • Publication number: 20240035351
    Abstract: A fracturing fluid delivery system is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a fracturing manifold and a fracturing tree. A fluid conduit is coupled between the fracturing manifold and the fracturing tree to enable receipt of fracturing fluid by the fracturing tree from the fracturing manifold through the fluid conduit. Further, the fluid conduit is an adjustable fluid conduit that provides a line-of-sight fluid connection from the fracturing manifold to the fracturing tree. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11598174
    Abstract: A fracturing fluid delivery system is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a wellhead assembly, a fracturing fluid supply line, a vertical branch extending upward from the fracturing fluid supply line, and a fluid conduit coupling the vertical branch in fluid communication with the wellhead assembly. The fluid conduit may extend linearly from the vertical branch to the wellhead assembly. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
