Publication number: 20180187508Abstract: An apparatus for distributing fluids to a well. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a well stimulation fluid delivery system (10) having an intake connection (90) for receiving well stimulation fluid and a first conduit (136) configured to route the well stimulation fluid from the intake connection to multiple outlet connections (84) configured to be coupled to pumps (54) for increasing the pressure of the well stimulation fluid. A second conduit (138) of the apparatus is configured to receive the well stimulation fluid from the pumps, via multiple inlet connections (94) configured to be coupled to the pumps, and to route the well stimulation fluid to a discharge connection (124, 128). The apparatus also includes individual skids (38, 40, 42) including platforms (76, 104, 114) on which fluid conduit segments are mounted. The individual skids are coupled to one another via their mounted fluid conduit segments to form the first conduit and the second conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2016Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: Thomas G.
