Abstract: The disclosure provides a collection block that aggregates multiple incoming flow lines and provides a consolidated outgoing flow path. The collection block can be remote from a given well that is being fractured to minimize safety risk in operations around the well. The collection block has dual capabilities of being connected to individual incoming flow lines as well as to manifold systems for distributing the out flowing fluids. The one or more inlets can be formed in the collection block at an offset to a centerline of a longitudinal bore through the collection block. In some to embodiments, frac trucks can connect along an extended connection zone that provides the fluids from the truck to the collection block.

Abstract: A connector to secure a blow out preventer to tubing or a casing head of a well or wellhead and a method of securing a blow out preventer to the well utilizing the connector. The connector may be configured to secure the blow out preventer adapter to the wellhead and provide, within fifteen minutes, a seal operable to withstand ten thousand pounds per square inch of pressure. The connector may include both a hydraulically operated locking segment and a separate mechanical locking segment, and wherein both locking segments may be transitioned from a fully retracted position to a fully locked position within fifteen minutes. The connector may be configured to accommodate up to ten degrees of misalignment between the blow out preventer and the tubing.
