  • Publication number: 20230323751
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for occupying at least part of a cavity within an item of equipment includes at least one removable insert configured to occupy at least part of the cavity without impeding movement in the cavity of any movable internal components of the equipment during normal operation thereof. Each insert may be configured to be spaced away from at least one among the cavity wall, one or more internal components of the equipment and any other inserts in the cavity and allow the flow of fluid around at least part of the insert in the cavity.

  • Patent number: 10745991
    Abstract: An overpressure safety system for use with a distribution of pressurized fluid associated with hydrocarbon production operations includes a safety valve in fluid communication with a main bore of a fluid control manifold assembly. The safety valve has a blocking condition where the safety valve blocks a flow of pressurized fluid through the safety valve, and a venting condition where the safety valve provides a fluid flow path for the pressurized fluid at a set overpressure to pass through the safety valve. A valve member is moveable within the safety valve between a first position where a pressure side of the valve member blocks the flow of the pressurized fluid at a pressure below the set overpressure from passing through the safety valve, and a second position where the valve member provides a fluid flow path for the pressurized fluid at any pressure to pass through the safety valve.

  • Patent number: 8474521
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an adjustable modular skid system with a plurality of skid modules having a frame to support oil field fluid components, such as manifolds, mixing blocks, collection blocks, fracturing pumps, piping and connections, and other devices used to transport water, sand slurries, gas, oil, or other fluids in oil field applications. The modules can be arranged in multiple configuration to fit a particular well site. The modules can include supply modules, transition modules, and distribution modules. The skid modules can be coupled together through piping and relevant connections at the well site. If appropriate, the skid modules can be supported on pilings or other foundational supports. The system can be assembled remotely, started and tested, partially disassembled into the skid modules, and then installed at the well site with minimal additional effort by generally providing lines and connections between the modules.
