BACKGROUND

For recent decades, hydraulic fracturing has been used to increase the production in oil or gas wells. In this process, a fracturing pump is used to pump the fluid into a wellbore under high pressure, then the fluid is squeezed into the formation, fracturing several hydraulic fractures. Water, other liquids as well as fracturing proppants are also injected into the fractures. After fracturing, the fracturing base fluid is returned to the ground, with the fracturing proppants remaining in the fractures to prevent fracture closure, through which a large amount of oil and gas enter the wellbore to be exploited.

In the working sites of fracturing in oil and gas fields all over the world, the air gas source supply for turbine fracturing is as follows:

The turbine fracturing trucks are arranged side by side, air gas pipelines are connected between the turbine fracturing trucks, air gas filters are disposed at the position of accessories of the turbine fracturing trucks, and the whole air gas piping is arranged around the vehicle set.

2. Unreasonable arrangement: The air gas pipeline for the whole vehicle set is in an annular form, if one of turbine fracturing trucks has to drive away, the piping for the whole vehicle set would be broken, with a risk of cutting off the air gas, thus affecting the efficiency of the wellsite.

3. Incompact structure, labor and time-consuming of installation: It is necessary to temporarily install air gas filters, air gas pipelines and other materials after the wellsite arrangement has been completed, increasing the difficulty of wellsite installation and affecting the operating efficiency.
