  • Patent number: 8376046
    Abstract: A fractionation system having a fractionation manifold with a plurality of connectors in fluid communication with one another and a plurality of valves disposed adjacent the connectors for selectively flowing fluid through the manifold. The connectors define a plurality of exterior ports for communication with wellstrings and fracturing fluid sources. A primary choke in communication with a tubing string and a secondary choke in communication with a casing string can be engaged with exterior ports, the secondary choke useable as a backup choke and for inducing sandouts. The present system can achieve a flow rate of up to 80 barrels per minute, or more, using only a single manifold and single power unit, and can be wirelessly operated. System components can incorporate self-aligning, self-positioning skids, or alternatively, the system can be transported using a single skid to facilitate portability and installation.
