Systems and methods for a horizontal completion tree

Abstract

Embodiments disclosed herein describe surface systems and delivery methods for a horizontal completion tree, wherein the horizontal completion tree is configured to receive high-pressure fluid from a single treating line. Utilizing the horizontal completion tree, safety risks may be reduced because there may be fewer treating lines over a given area, and personnel may interact with the horizontal completion tree without lifts or ladders.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A horizontal completion tree for hydraulic fracturing oil and gas well completions comprising:
 an inlet port configured to be coupled with a single treating line, the inlet port configured to receive high-pressure fluid, the inlet port having a first diameter;   a pipeline configured to transport the high-pressure fluid from the inlet port, the pipeline having a second diameter, the second diameter being smaller than the first diameter; and   a control block including an input port, angled sidewalls, and an output port, the input port being positioned on a first face of the control block, wherein a first end of the input port has a third diameter configured to receive the high-pressure fluid from the pipeline, the angled sidewalls are positioned on a second end of the input port, wherein the angled sidewalls are configured to control the flow of the high-pressure fluid within the control block, the output port being positioned on a second face of the control block, wherein the output port has a fourth diameter being greater than the third diameter, the second face of the control block being positioned below and perpendicular to the first face of the control block.   
     
     
         2 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a bi-direction block positioned on an opposite side of the control block, wherein the bi-directional block includes a linear sidewall configured to block the flow of the high-pressure fluid through the control block.   
     
     
         3 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 2 , wherein the linear sidewall of the bi-directional block is positioned adjacent to a circumference of the output port. 
     
     
         4 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 1 , wherein a first end of the angled sidewalls are positioned on a first plane within a circumference of the output port and a second end of the angled sidewalls are positioned on a second plane level with the circumference of the output port. 
     
     
         5 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 4 , wherein the angled sidewalls create a space between the second end of the input port and the output port. 
     
     
         6 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 wing valves positioned on opposite side of the control block.   
     
     
         7 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 6 , wherein a second end of the wing valves are positioning more proximate to the output port than the second end of the angled sidewalls. 
     
     
         8 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 4 , wherein the first end of the angled sidewalls have the third diameter, and the second end of angled sidewalls have the fourth diameter. 
     
     
         9 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a swab valve positioned on a top surface of the control block, the swab valve being positioned parallel to the output port and perpendicular to the pipeline.   
     
     
         10 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet port is configured to receive high-pressure fluid from a single treating line. 
     
     
         11 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 1 , wherein the single treating line has a diameter that is greater than or equal to six inches. 
     
     
         12 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 1 , wherein the control block is configured to change a direction of the flow of the high pressure fluid. 
     
     
         13 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 1 , wherein the high-pressure fluid enters the control block at a first rate, and the high pressure fluid exits the control block at a second rate. 
     
     
         14 . The horizontal completion tree of  claim 13 , wherein the first rate is greater than the second rate.
