A method and apparatus for moving pipe rehabilitation objects, such as a pipe liner through a host pipeline. Flexible tubing is used to connect to the pipe rehabilitation object and to apply a force to cause the pipe rehabilitation objection to move through host pipeline. The flexible tubing is also capable of conveying a fluid, such as a lubricant through the tubing.

Grease distribution systems for lubricating a plurality of fracking valves on a wellhead may include a distribution manifold configured for mounting on or adjacent to the wellhead. The grease distribution manifold may include a plurality of manifold valves. A grease pump may be disposed in fluid communication with the grease distribution manifold. A plurality of safety valves may be disposed in fluid communication with the respective manifold valves. Each of the safety valves is configured to be disposed in fluid communication with one of a plurality of fracking valves. The grease pump is configured to distribute grease through at least one of the manifold valves and its respective one of the safety valves, to the respective one of the fracking valves.

A greasing system may be placed partially within the red zone and partially outside of the red zone. Grease and pneumatic power is supplied from outside of the red zone to a pod, inside of the red zone, having local storage, high-pressure pumping capacity, and a distribution mechanism. The grease is supplied from outside of the red zone to the pod at low-pressure through a hose having at least a 1 inch inside diameter and is usually at least 100 feet long. The pod pressurizes the grease to a high-pressure and distributes the grease via a distribution mechanism to a relatively short hose, generally less than 8 feet between the distribution mechanism and the greasing point on the wellhead, in order to minimize pressure losses.

A holding member configured to hold an injection portion and an imaging unit of an insertion portion in a state in which the injection portion and the imaging unit are arranged side by side includes an injection-portion insertion portion configured such that the injection portion is press-fitted into the injection-portion insertion portion and an imaging-unit insertion portion configured such that the imaging unit is press-fitted into the imaging-unit insertion portion. The insertion portion is configured to be inserted toward a corresponding portion in a narrow space while being gripped by an operator. The injection portion has a cylindrical shape and is provided with a fluid substance injection port at a tip end portion. The imaging unit has a cylindrical shape and is configured to capture an image including the tip end portion of the injection portion and its surrounding environment.

A hydraulic fracturing plan executable by a hydraulic fracturing system to hydraulically fracture a plurality of oil and gas wells.

A system for pumping lubricant in a gas transportation pipeline includes a pipeline robot and a control terminal system. The pipeline robot includes a lubricant position detection, module, a lubricant pumping module, an electro-hydraulic control system, a data acquisition and processing system, and a lubricant sucking port. The location at which the lubricant deposits can be detected online, and the lubricant staving in the gas transportation pipeline can be removed in real time. The system is highly automatic and efficient. Resistance against the natural as transportation is reduced effectively, the efficiency of transporting the natural gas is improved, and safety of transporting the natural gas is ensured.

Methods and apparatus according to which a first valve is opened, or kept open, the first valve being part of a wellhead including a flow component above the first valve. The method may further include detecting a state of the first valve and, in response to detecting the state of the first valve, metering an amount of grease to the first valve. In addition, or instead, the method may further include opening, or keeping open, a second valve, the second valve being operably coupled to the wellhead and positioned above the flow component, and, after opening, or keeping open, each of the first and second valves, detecting whether the second valve is open or closed, in response to detecting that the second valve is open, preventing the first valve from being closed, and in response to detecting that the second valve is closed, allowing the first valve to be closed.

A modular digital filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) connector and system are provided. The modular digital filter, regulator and lubricator connector and system are especially suitable for use in improving compressed air quality so as to extend the life of tools and machines which are connected to the FRL devices. The connector device and system allows for a quick and efficient connection with respect to both electronics and air lines and reduces problems that arise from wire pig-tailing or accidental disconnection of the FRL. The device and system may have digital, visual and audible warnings with respect to the quality of air passing through the system and to the tools and machines.
