Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to fluid injection systems, apparatus, methods, and associated components thereof that include flexible hoses for wellhead sites. In one implementation, a fluid injection system for wellhead sites includes a pump, a pump manifold, and a flexible hose coupled between the pump and the pump manifold. The flexible hose includes a first end coupled to the pump and a second end coupled to the pump manifold. The first end of the flexible hose includes a first end fitting coupled to the pump, and the first end fitting is oriented at an angle relative to a horizontal plane. The second end of the flexible hose includes a second end fitting coupled to the pump manifold, and the second end fitting is oriented vertically and perpendicularly to the horizontal plane.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A pump manifold system, comprising:
a plurality of connection blocks;
a plurality of conduits between the plurality of connection blocks; and
a crane system comprising:
a base;
a column coupled to the base;
a rail coupled to the column that extends relative to a first side of the least one of the conduits or connection blocks;
a trolley movable along the rail; and
a crane coupled to the base, wherein the crane extends relative to the first side of at least one of the conduits or connection blocks.

2. The pump manifold system of claim 1 , wherein the column is rotatably fixed to the base such that the column does not rotate relative to the base.

3. The pump manifold system of claim 2 , wherein the column is pivotably coupled to the base such that the column can pivot relative to the base.

4. The pump manifold system of claim 1 , wherein the column is rotatable relative to the base such that the column rotates relative to the base.

5. The pump manifold system of claim 4 , wherein the column is coupled to a base receptacle that is coupled to a mount plate, and wherein the mount plate is rotatably coupled to a base plate of the base.

6. The pump manifold system of claim 5 , wherein the column is configured to be removably coupled to and from the base receptacle.

7. The pump manifold system of claim 6 , wherein the base receptacle is a female receptacle, and wherein a bottom end of the column is a male insert that is received in the female receptacle.

8. The pump manifold system of claim 1 , wherein the crane system further comprises a mount frame extending above the at least one of the conduits or connection blocks, and wherein a base plate of the base is coupled to the mount frame.

9. The pump manifold system of claim 8 , wherein the mount frame is coupled to the at least one of the conduits or connection blocks and comprises a plurality of legs configured to support the base.

10. The pump manifold system of claim 8 , wherein the mount frame comprises a plurality of legs configured to support the base.

11. The pump manifold system of claim 1 , wherein the base is coupled to the at least one of the conduits or connection blocks.

12. The pump manifold system of claim 1 , wherein the base is positioned above the at least one of the conduits or connection blocks.

13. A pump manifold system, comprising:
a plurality of connection blocks;
a plurality of conduits between the plurality of connection blocks; and
a crane comprising:
a column;
a rail coupled to the column; and
a trolley movable along the rail, wherein the column is positioned above at least one of the conduits or connection blocks, and wherein the rail extends relative to a first side of the at least one of the conduits or connection blocks.

14. The pump manifold system of claim 13 , wherein the column is rotatably fixed such that the column does not rotate relative to the conduits or connection blocks.

15. The pump manifold system of claim 13 , wherein the column is rotatable such that the column rotates relative to the conduits or connection blocks.

16. The pump manifold system of claim 15 , wherein the column is rotatably coupled to a base plate of the crane, and wherein the base plate is positioned above the at least one of the conduits or connection blocks.

17. The pump manifold system of claim 13 , wherein the crane further comprises a mount frame extending above the at least one of the conduits or connection blocks, and wherein the mount frame comprises a plurality of legs configured to support the column.

18. The pump manifold system of claim 17 , wherein the plurality of legs extend on opposite sides of the at least one of the conduits or connection blocks.

19. The pump manifold system of claim 18 , wherein the column is rotatably coupled to the mount frame such that the column rotates relative to the mount frame.
