At least two fluid inlet portions and at least one intermediate inlet portion located between the two fluid inlet portions deliver fluid to the live bore. The two fluid inlet portions straddle two or more outlet portions which are in communication with the two or more wellbores. One or more or all of the inlet portions or outlet portions can have multiple flow-impinging ports for reducing fluid velocity at each inlet and outlet portion. A diverter line can be provided to divert fluid from the first or second inlet portions to the intermediate inlet portions to equalize fluid flow streams in the manifold. | 2022-03-31 |
20220099228 | FITTING COLLAR AND TUBE-FITTING ASSEMBLIES INCORPORATING FITTING COLLARS - A method for coupling a fitting to a tubing end includes pressing a collar over the outer surface of the tubing until the strain on the collar in the hoop direction is at a predetermined level, or pressing a collar with a predetermined axial load. | 2022-03-31 |
20220099229 | PIPE LINER END TERMINATION - An end termination assembly for a pipe liner includes a liner fitting and a clamping collar. The liner fitting has a nipple. The clamping collar can be disposed on the nipple to clamp the liner between the two components. A clamping surface of one or both of the nipple and clamping collar can be tapered to accommodate a range of liner wall thicknesses. The clamping collar can connect to the nipple without rotating. For example, a draw mechanism can draw the clamping collar along pipe liner to clamp the liner between collar and the nipple. The clamping collar and the nipple define an annular space in which a pipe liner can be clamped, and the radial thickness of the annular space is different at different positions of the collar. | 2022-03-31 |
20220099230 | PIPE REPAIR DEVICE - A pipe repair device includes a body defining a first body end, a second body end, and a middle body section therebetween; a pivotable arm attached to the body, wherein the pivotable arm is pivotable relative to the body to radially reposition the pivotable arm relative to the body; a locomotion subsystem configured to drive the pipe repair device through a pipe, the locomotion subsystem mounted to the pivotable arm and configured to engage an inner surface of the pipe; and a stent mounted to the body, the stent comprising a sealing layer and a spring. | 2022-03-31 |
