Product Overview

Overview

Remotely connects the wireline lubricator to the frac tree from outside of the high pressure "Red Zone". In doing so, reduces/eliminates need to send personnel in a manlift and pressure pumping can continue on adjacent wells, shortening the pump on to pump off time.

Package includes fail safe connectors with locking indicators, control system with keyed lock/unlock switches, bore pressure display and interlocks, plus wireless remote communication to the factory.

Business Model

Technology Innovations
  • Reliable engineered failsafe connector with minimal moving parts: connectors in field with over 2000 connections without redress
  • Redundant components on-board and on-site: if a component were to fail, the system automatically switches over to back-up component and continues to operate until failed components can be addressed by factory
  • Connector travels with lubricator, allows 1 connector no matter # of wells (lower day rate costs)
  • Interlock to prevent unlatch with bore pressure over 75psi: connector automatically locks if bore pressures goes over 75 psi
  • Pressure transducer (intrinsically safe) mounted on the connector with robotics cable to control: eliminates need for high pressure lines running to the ground near personnel
  • Due to high precision connector system, compressed air is used for actuation: abundance of relatively inexpensive, clean compressed air: desiccant dryer allows operation in -20 deg F environment
  • Connector mounted components are intrinsically safe
  • Plug & play umbilical connections makes changing out simple, easy and error resistant

Remote cellular communication to factory provides immediate notification of:

  • Any alarm messages (sent via text messages)
  • Control touchscreen access from cell phones
  • Laptop access to state of all control components, interlock component status, etc.
  • Automatic daily performance and log emails to factory
Applications

Multi-well zipper hydraulic fracturing

  • 10k & 15k versions
  • H2S service

To be used on hydraulic fracturing manifolds (anywhere high pressure connections need to be made up fast, safely, and/or remotely)
