Patent number: 11952879Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for connecting a hydraulic fracturing fluid source to various wells at a given well site. In general, use of disclosed systems and methods provide for repositioning (refocusing) the hydraulic fracturing operation amongst multiple wells may be achieved. In one example, a system to reroute fracturing fluid from a source to various wells at a well site may be provided. The use of adapters and quick clamp connections allow hydraulic fracturing fluid to be rerouted between various wells in a manner to decrease the cost and reduce hazards associated with changing hydraulic fracturing locations. Modular components of the system (and an overall modular design of the system itself) may allow a centralized manifold to be relocated to various locations at one or more well sites.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MCCLINTON ENERGY GROUP, LLCInventors: Jeremy Perkins, Aaron Ladwig, Tommy McClinton

Patent number: 9593549Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a locking assembly to attach a quickset casing head of a wellhead assembly to a landing mandrel attached to a surface casing in a drilling operation. A locking ring, comprised of a plurality of arcuate segments, is arranged between the quickset casing head and the landing mandrel. Each of the plurality of arcuate segments is clamped down onto the landing mandrel with a plurality of radially spaced lockdown bolts fastened through the quickset casing head. The clamping enables a seal between the quickset casing head and the landing mandrel without requiring arduous welding.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2014Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: McClinton Energy Group LLCInventors: Tony McClinton, Jeremy Perkins

Patent number: 9404337Abstract: A caged ball fractionation plug for use in a wellbore with a crown engagement having a tapered nose cone and various load ring, slips, slip backups, lubricating spacers and seals can all be slidably engaged to the mandrel. Upon applying pressure, the slidably engaged components can be compressed against each other and the plug can expand and bite into the casing of the wellbore. The caged ball portion of the plug seats the ball internal to the plug to create two separate fractionation zones in the wellbore.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2013Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: MCCLINTON ENERGY GROUP, LLCInventors: Tony D. McClinton, Stanley Keeling, Buster Carl McClinton

Patent number: 9387787Abstract: A portable storage unit for storing fluid, particulates, or combinations thereof, wherein the portable storage unit can have a trailer with a frame. An outer container can be connected to the frame, and can have a first storage cavity with an outlet. A gate can provide for selective opening and closing of the outlet. An inner container can be movably disposed within the outer container, and can have a second storage cavity. The second storage cavity can be in selective fluid communication with the first storage cavity. At least a partial seal can be formed between the inner container and outer container. A hydraulic cylinder can be connected to the inner container and outer container for moving the inner container relative to the outer container, allowing for an adjustable volumetric capacity of the first storage cavity.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2012Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: MCCLINTON ENERGY GROUP, LLCInventor: Glen Michael Wolford
