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: An apparatus to distribute pressurized fluid from one or more sources to multiple wellbores. The apparatus includes a manifold having at least two inlets and at least two outlets. Pressurized fluid is brought into the manifold from opposing directions so that the fluid from one inlet will impinge upon the fluid from the other inlet thereby de-energizing the fluid. Additionally, the manifold is configured such that the cross-sectional area of the inlets is less than the cross-sectional area of the manifold thereby decreasing velocity minimizing the kinetic energy available to erode or otherwise damage equipment, while providing a pressure decrease as the fluid enters the manifold. The outlets are configured such that the cross-sectional area of the outlets providing fluid to a single wellbore is greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of the inlets such that no pressure increase occurs within the manifold or the outlets as the fluid exits the manifold.

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.
