Abstract: A pipe union assembly that includes a female end of a first pipe section and a male end of a second pipe section. The pipe union assembly also includes a quick union nut securable to the female end, a retainer collar securable to the quick union nut and a segmented load ring disposed between the male end of the second pipe section and the quick union nut. The quick union nut, the retainer collar and the segmented load ring cooperate to maintain the male end of the second pipe section inside the female end of the first pipe section. A method of using the pipe union assembly to join a first pipe section and a second pipe section.

Abstract: A transportable separation apparatus for separating spent materials from oil and gas operations into a primarily solid component and a primarily liquid component. The separation apparatus includes a first separation area disposed on the separation apparatus for receiving spent materials and beginning separation of the spent materials. The separation apparatus designed to be connected to a vehicle to be pulled on commercial roadways. The separation apparatus also includes a second separation area in fluid communication with the first separation area for further separation of the spent materials. The separation apparatus can further include an auger in fluid communication with the first separation area to remove the primarily solid component from the separation apparatus. A method of introducing and separating the spent materials via the separation apparatus.

Abstract: A frac manifold support system includes a platform having a slider plate disposed thereon. The system also including a secure container unit secured relative to the slider plate for supporting a studded cross or studded block. The system further includes a selectively secure container unit slidably disposed on the slider plate for supporting a studded cross or studded block and a driving device for moving the selectively secure container unit towards and away from the secure container unit. A method for accessing various parts of the frac manifold support system includes the step of unsecuring a spacer spool from a studded block or studded cross to gain access to a desired area for maintenance. The method also includes the step of creating a first section of the frac manifold support system and a second section of the frac manifold support system.
