Abstract: A manifold system includes a blender that supplies a plurality of low-pressure lines and a bypass line, wherein the bypass line bypasses upstream pumping units positioned closer to the blender to deliver dedicated low-pressure fluid to downstream pumping units, thereby maintaining uniform fluid distribution and preventing cavitation without affecting overall slurry rate or design.

Abstract: An automated zipper manifold system for remotely monitoring and controlling valves between a mixing chamber and one or more wells. Each line includes a pair of valves, each with an actuator, position indicator, and pressure transducer. A computing device communicates with the valve modules to receive position and pressure data, determine valve states, and issue commands to open, close, or inject grease through dedicated lines. The system can automatically detect leaks, verify seals, and balance pressure within the manifold. A graphical user interface displays real-time valve and pressure data, allowing remote and simultaneous control of multiple valves. Automated routines may be executed to maintain valve performance, reduce non-productive time, and improve operational safety during fracturing or wireline operations.

Abstract: A bi-directional floating plug that utilize pressure from fracturing, wirelines, etc.

Abstract: A bi-directional floating plug that utilizes pressure from fracturing, wirelines, etc. to set a metal-to-metal seal against a fixed insert within a valve body, and a secondary seal via a energized fluid within a sealing groove while the metal-to metal seal is retained.

Abstract: An automated zipper manifold with remotely and independently controlled and monitored valves, wherein second pressure transducers are positioned on the zipper manifold and are configured to determine a flow analysis across the valve.

Abstract: A plug that contacts both an upstream seat and a downstream seat based on a upstream spring creating first forces on the upstream seat and a downstream spring creating second forces on the downstream seat. The first forces may be in a downstream direction and the second forces may be in an upstream direction. Additionally, the upstream chamber and the downstream chambers may be dependent pistons that are configured to create dynamic forces acting upon the plug.

Abstract: A mounting system for zipper manifold that includes rails. Embodiments may include mixing block and injection head modules that are configured to move on a trailer.
