Fracturing manifold systems and methods
A fracturing system is provided. In one embodiment, the fracturing system includes a fracturing manifold for routing fracturing fluid to multiple wells. The fracturing manifold can be coupled via fluid conduits to fracturing trees installed at the wells. In some cases, each fracturing tree that is coupled to the fracturing manifold is coupled by at least one rigid fluid conduit. The fracturing manifold can include a trunk line that provides fracturing fluid to multiple outlet branches, which can include valves for controlling flow of fracturing fluid to wells downstream of the valves. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
Well fracturing manifold apparatus
A fracturing system can include a fracturing manifold coupled to a plurality of fracturing trees. The fracturing manifold may include adjustment joints that enable adjustment of the length of the fracturing manifold. The fracturing manifold can also include pivot joints that allow angular displacement of portions of the fracturing manifold with respect to other portions. The adjustment and pivot joints can accommodate spacing and elevation differences between the fracturing trees.
ADJUSTABLE FRACTURING SYSTEM
An adjustable fracturing system is provided. The system includes an adjustment joint configured to be varied in length to facilitate coupling of a fracturing manifold to a fracturing tree. In one embodiment, the system may also include the fracturing manifold and the fracturing tree. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

FRACTURING FLUID DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A fracturing system including a fracturing manifold. In one embodiment, the system includes a fracturing manifold coupled to a plurality of fracturing trees via a plurality of fluid conduits. Further, multiple fracturing trees of the plurality of fracturing trees can each be coupled to the fracturing manifold by only a single fluid conduit of the plurality of fluid conduits to allow each of the multiple fracturing trees to receive fracturing fluid from the fracturing manifold via its respective single fluid conduit. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
Adjustable fracturing system
An adjustable fracturing system (10) is provided. The system includes an adjustment joint (60, 62, 64, 130, 170, 224) configured to be varied in length to facilitate coupling of a fracturing manifold (22) to a fracturing tree (20). In one embodiment, the system may also include the fracturing manifold and the fracturing tree. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
Expansion joint for pipelines
A tube is surrounded by a ring attached to a sleeve. One end of the tube is attached to a pipe of the pipeline, one end of the sleeve is attached to another pipe of the pipe line. The tube and the ring and sleeve are movable axially relatively to one another when the pipe line expands or contracts linearly. A seal between the ring and the tube ensures fluid tightness of the joint.
Sliding connector spool
An embodiment includes a spool that may expand and contract to ease removal and addition of components to an oilfield manifold.
