Patent attributes
One or more frac distribution towers are positioned on a well pad and receive high pressure frac fluid from a remote source including one or more pumps. The tower has an inlet and multiple outlets, each outlet having a valve to selectively supply frac fluid to one or more wells. The inlet and the outlets each have a centerline, and the outlets may all be located on the same side of a plane defined by the centerline of the frac distribution tower and the centerline of the inlet. Outlet valves may be oriented horizontally, vertically, or angularly between horizontal and vertical. The inlet and the outlets may have the same size and pressure rating, or the outlets may have a smaller size than the inlet, such that multiple wells may be fracked simultaneously. More than one frac distribution tower may be positioned on a well pad and connected to each other using a tee fitting so as to provide high pressure frac fluid to each tower, and from each tower to one or more frac trees on multiple wells.
