FLEXIBLE FRACTURING FLUID DELIVERY CONDUIT QUICK CONNECTORS

Fracturing fluid delivery systems having flexible fracturing fluid delivery conduits secured with quick connectors are provided. In one example, a fracturing system includes a wellhead assembly and a fracturing fluid conduit coupled to the wellhead assembly to route fracturing fluid to the wellhead assembly. The fracturing fluid conduit includes a flexible body defining a bore for conveying the fracturing fluid to the wellhead assembly. The fracturing fluid conduit is coupled to the wellhead assembly via an actuated connector including one or more locking members that move from an unlocked position to a locked position to secure the fracturing fluid conduit to the wellhead assembly. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

QUICK RELEASE COUPLING
20230167932 · 2023-06-01 ·

An improved quick release coupling is provided. The quick release coupling enables higher fluid flow rates and lower pressure drops. The quick release coupling is configured to be a connection and disconnection under high pressure conditions on one or both of the male and the female sides of the coupling. The quick release coupling enables intentional manual disconnection as well as breakaway disconnection under high working pressures.

POPPET ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN A SUBSEA CONNECTION SYSTEM
20170328164 · 2017-11-16 ·

A subsea connection system for connecting to a hub has a body with an interior passageway, a collet having a plurality of collet segments, an outer sleeve overlying the collet, and a poppet valve assembly positioned within the interior passageway of the body. The plurality of collet segments are movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The poppet valve assembly is movable between an open position and a closed position in which the open position allows a fluid to flow through the interior passageway and the closed position blocks a flow of fluid through the interior passageway. The outer sleeve is movable so as to cause the plurality of collet segments to join to a hub.

Secondary Unlock Tool for Subsea Connectors

A tool for mechanically unlocking a subsea hydraulic connector which is configured to releasably connect a first subsea component to a second subsea component. The connector includes a housing which is secured to the first subsea component, a locking piston which is positioned within the housing, and a number of locking jaws which are configured to be engaged by the locking piston. The locking piston is movable between a locked position in which the locking piston forces the locking jaws into engagement with the second subsea component to thereby secure the connector to the second subsea component, and an unlocked position in which the locking piston releases the locking jaws from engagement with the second subsea component to thereby disconnect the connector from the second subsea component. The tool includes a number of transportable actuators which are positionable into an operable position adjacent the connector, and activation of the actuators causes the locking piston to move from its locked position to its unlocked position to thereby disconnect the connector from the second subsea component.
